From the reviews

I have been nothing but impressed with TDA. They run a tight ship and demand perfection, but that’s what I love the most. They ask a lot of the kids and it helps teach them a lot of great qualities and paying close attention to every detail.

★★★★★ — Brent, Apr 2021

I danced at TDA for 13+ years. The original owners were moving and we were all fearful that the studio would be under completely new management and ultimately go down hill. Then Mindy swooped in and saved the day, and completely revamped the studio.

★★★★★ — Claire, Nov 2015

I have been a competitive dancer at TDA for eight years now and it is the best place to send a child to dance! You learn not only how to become a beautiful dancer, but important life lessons that I know I will never forget.

Your first ballet class at The Dance Authority

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.
