From the reviews

We have been going to the RAP for about a year now and have absolutely LOVED it. The instructors are so wonderful, and everyone that works there is warm and welcoming. It’s a nice, calm environment as well. What I love most about this studio is that they don’t push recitals on parents.

★★★★★ — Madison, Sep 2024

My daughter dances with this studio and did their summer theater programs for many years. The owner, Diana is wonderful! She truly cares about these kids and really knows what she is doing. She is a great teacher and her theatre projects are top notch. The studio also puts on an amazing Nutcracker every year.

Your first ballet class at The Redding Arts Project

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.
