What families & students say
From the reviews
I love dancing and teaching at Tammy’s Academy of Dance! Definitely a wonderful studio to bring your kids too 😀😀
I looked for an adult tap class for exercise. I found Tammy and have never had more fun tap dancing! It doesnt even seem like exercise and weve added ballet for better balance and coordination. Tammy is a wonderful teacher and explains steps well and makes sure we have the steps before moving on.
An amazing studio!! I have been dancing here since I was 3 years old (I am now also a teacher here!) and Tammy is by far the best instructor! She’s wonderful with children and has amazing choreography! She definitely knows how to portray any song through movement and is very hands on in teaching!
My family has been a part of this amazing studio for 2 years now and we love it. Tammy and her team are exceptional! Highly recommend!
Adult ballet at Tammy's Academy of Dance
Tammy's Academy of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Tammy's Academy of Dance
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.
