From the reviews
My granddaughter has been attending ballet classes for a few years & enjoyed being in The Nutcracker Ballet performance. The staff is caring, especially through this Covid ordeal. Their staff is exceptional, great knowledge of ballet & works with each student to achieve their best.
My grandchild is and has taken dance at "The Academy center for Dance". She loves the Classes and is always excited to go. They are doing a wonderful job of teaching her dance but also in the correct way to present herself as a wonderful young lady. Wonderful experience!
The Academy is practically my second home. I love coming here so much because all the teachers and staff are awesome! The professionalism is top notch and the environment is amazing for learning. Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful dance experience!!🎀❤️
We are so impressed with The Academy! The teachers and staff are fantastic! My daughters love it here! I love the modesty this studio displays!!!
Your first ballet class at The Academy of Lexington Youth Ballet
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.
