From the reviews
My daughter loves ballet, so we decided to enroll her, and overall the environment is clean, welcoming, and somewhat diverse. She really likes her teacher, and I appreciate the positive atmosphere.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful experience my daughter has had at West Chester Academy School. The progress she has made under your guidance has been truly remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and expertise of her instructors.
So amazing!! Clean, organized, FUN facility. Sucks only one parent can be present for the class, but you are able to get a tablet of theirs and view the classes via cameras. It's really easy to use and they even have an app. My daughter started ballet and gymnastics.
Update 10/25: We have been attending WCA for almost 6 years! The friendly communication to families is fantastic and the frequency of their reminders for events is right on point! 2019: Customer service was very friendly and prompt with response. We received a postcard after our first class welcoming us to the school.
Adult ballet at West Chester Academy
West Chester Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at West Chester 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.
