From the reviews

The owner Anika is the most incredible dancer and her passion for the art pours into her studio and dancers. The studio is so clean, bright, and welcoming. She truly loves nurturing every single dancer and the space she creates is something so special.

What a wonderful addition to the Park Circle neighborhood! Other than being a completely beautiful dance studio, the owner and staff at TDA are such wonderful people. Great dance environment for kids and teens!

Your first ballet class at The Dance Atelier

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.
