From the reviews

After taking a summer dance camp here, my daughter was hooked! She loved everything about it. The instructors were patient, fun and professional. It was a much different vibe than what we've experienced at other local studios. She liked it so much that we signed up for 2 classes a week.

I just had the best experience w this studio and Allison, who hosted such an amazing birthday party for my 6 year old! It was fabulous, great for the kids, a unique party experience and so well priced! The team working the party were so wonderful with the kids and honestly I just couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

Allison and her staff/students who fill in as substitutes are all so wonderful and attentive. My 2yo has learned new skills and I love watching her have so much fun. Photo of Allison before class getting my daughter comfortable and in the mood for dancing!

Your first ballet class at Studio of Ballet Arts / SBADC Dance Collective

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.
