★★★★★ — Erin, May 2022

Stage Stars Dance and Acro has truly impressed me with not only the amazing dancers, but more importantly the teamwork, dedication and camaraderie among the staff, dancers and parents.

★★★★★ — Rorie, May 2022

If you are looking for a place for your child to dance, look no further. My daughter has been dancing at SSDA since she was 5 and the growth we have seen in her is amazing! Your child will learn so much more than dance at SSDA.

Your first ballet class at Stage Stars Dance and Acro

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.
