From the reviews
My daughter attended ballet classes this summer. We traveled 20 miles to come to Avondale because this studio is amazing. They teach classical ballet with high expectations. The teachers are professional and kind. My daughter loved it and made some very sweet friends. Exactly what I was looking for in a ballet studio.
Despite being located in a CrossFit facility and the somewhat unconventional setting, this studio offers wonderful ballet and dance instruction with highly qualified and well-trained teachers. Without question, it is the highest caliber ballet studio in the West Valley.
Your first ballet class at Southwest Ballet Theatre
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.
