The things reviewers bring up again and again across 4 Google reviews — with their own words as proof.

serious pre-professional training 3 mentions

“All of the teachers are of at least college age and have been training in dance for years.”

From the reviews

I have a feeling that the other reviewer has never been the WSPA. Miss Lori does not yell at anyone and the classes are not taught by teenagers. The only time there are teenagers is when they are ASSISTING the teachers. All of the teachers are of at least college age and have been training in dance for years.

★★★★★ — F, Aug 2013

Our daughter just finished her eighth year at WSPA and we have had nothing but a phenomenal experience. The teachers are experienced and the kids respect them. Music and costume choices are always modest and Mrs. Lori emphasizes the important parts of dancing...learning, teamwork, enjoyment, physical fitness, and art.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Jul 2017

Amazing studio family orienated, amazing teachers who care and love their students. My girls thrive and love dance classes

Your first ballet class at Wichita School of Performing Arts

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.
