From the reviews
Uplifting Arts Academy is an outstanding dance academy. Shaquan is an OUTSTANDING, caring, supportive, professional and very talented dancer and instructor. She cares for her students and mentors as she teaches. I am so grateful for Shaquan sharing her talent with students of all ages.
I can't say enough good things about Uplifting Arts Academy! From the moment we joined, it was clear that this studio is about so much more than just teaching dance. The instructors are not only incredibly talented, but they also truly care about each student, nurturing their confidence, skill, and faith.
If I could give this company 10 stars, I would! Such an uplifting, encouraging, and inspirational example the instructors of the company are to the young ladies of Uplifting Arts Academy. The golden heart of the director is unmatched, and she cares about the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health.
Uplifting Arts Academy has been a gift to our family and community. Not only do our daughters dance here, but over the years, we’ve been able to refer other friends and family members to join the studio. It’s heartwarming to see the girls grow and develop a passion for dance and the Lord. Ms.
Your first ballet class at Uplifting Arts 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.
