From the reviews
This studio is great! The new receptionist is very friendly and communicates very well with the parents. The studio's are well maintained and kept very clean. They even have a playroom for kids!
I had been dancing here for the past 15 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. The teaching staff and the owners genuinely care about the students and their progression with dance and in life overall. This has been my second home for years and everyone has always been like a family to me.
I have danced at this studio since I was very little and couldn't have asked for a better experience! All of the teachers care so much about the students. The teachers have helped me so much throughout the years, and thanks to their guidance and help and with the studio's connections through Regional Dance America I…
Since our family started attending classes at SPAA in 2020, we have loved every minute. They provide a positive learning environment for all ages. The staff and teachers are professional, communicate effectively, and help inspire a love of dance and performing. We highly recommend SPAA.
Your first ballet class at Southern Performing Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
