If you’re looking for some great pre-professional training in the St. Augustine area, I highly recommend this studio. Super professional atmosphere with really talented young artists. Glad I was able to stop by and take class as I was passing through the area.

★★★★★ — Maddy, Aug 2017

My daughter danced her first year of ballet this past year as a Cherub (3 year old) & we loved it! The experienced instructors are amazing & so great with the kids. Everything about the class was completely age appropriate, giving my daughter (& all of the students) a wonderful foundation for her future years of dance.

Your first ballet class at St. Augustine Dance Conservatory

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
