From the reviews

Here are reasons we decided to forgo fully prepaid lessons for the rest of January at another school and return to SAA so my daughter A can be Ms. Bernie’s student again.

★★★★★ — David, Jan 2020

I will say I was skeptical at first about SAA. I was looking for a violin teacher for an adult beginner without any prior musical training. Everyone who seemed to attend SAA was under 13, but Mary Sway quelled my apprehension.

★★★★★ — Julie, Sep 2018

I signed my daughter up for Ballet and I must say I'm very impressed! Amy was very welcoming and helpful. Miranda is AWESOME as an instructor. My son has joined the studio as well. I'm new to the city and glad that I was able to find this academy.

★★★★★ — Phillis, Jan 2019

We love SAA! My oldest daughter has taken ballet there for years, and my youngest just started last year in the Tiny Tutu's. The teachers are all absolutely excellent, and we couldn't be happier here! The performance at the end of the year is always amazing, and it's a great incorporation of dance and theater.

Your first ballet class at Suwanee Academy of the Arts

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.
