From the reviews

My daughter has had an excellent experience at their summer camps. They communicate effectively with parents and dancers to make a great experience for all. I was also very impressed with the safety measures they have adopted regarding covid, the measures feel responsible but not intimidating.

★★★★★ — Jenni, Sep 2020

My daughter has attended True Dance for 11 years dancing recreational and then competitively or 10 years. So many opportunities as a dancer from just having fun, preparing for high school dance, competitively dancing, or wanting to focus on ballet.

★★★★★ — Rhema, Dec 2024

My child’s dance technique and confidence improve year after year throughout our years at True. Because of the top notch instruction the studio is able to compete with the best, and if my child decides to take her dance abilities to college and beyond I have no doubt she will be prepared for that experience.

Your first ballet class at True Dance Academy

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.
