From the reviews
Several members of my family (myself included!) take classes here, and my daughter is on the competition team. Wonderful instructors with focus on having fun, enjoying dance, and being supportive, all while honing technique.
I want to give a shout out to Nikki for the inspiration she has been to my daughter, age 13. Whatever magic is happening in the classes surely shows as my daughter could care less about being older in the class, about being taller, or about repeating classes. She just wants to take dance and loves having Nikki!
I went here for 3 years in ballet. (and am coming back) Teacher Audra was my first teacher and I recommend Audra for young children.
My 4 year old daughter just loves her ballet/tap/tumbling class. She's been going for about a year, and her teacher is fabilous!
Your first ballet class at Studio One Dance 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.
