From the reviews

My 14 year old daughter has danced at YDA since she was 3 and I am thrilled with our experience there. Being part of the Young Dance Academy family has helped my daughter gain confidence, responsibility, and most importantly keeps her active.

★★★★★ — Chris, Dec 2024

I cannot say enough about this dance school! My daughter will be starting her 3rd year next school season and I have seen such great improvement in that time. She sings and dances her routines at home all the time! The teachers are fabulous and they teach the students to be just as fabulous.

★★★★★ — Heather, May 2024

We absolutely adore YDA! It has been such a beautiful, full-circle experience to watch my daughters grow up in the same studio where I danced as a child. The teachers—Ms. Jenna, Ms. Janell, Ms. Lisa, and Ms.

★★★★★ — Sarah, May 2026

We just finished our 4th year with young dance and we can wait for fall to start! Both my girls love coming every week and the teachers are all truly amazing! Ms Sandy and Ms Jenna have been great with our younger daughter and this year, ms Emily was amazing with our older daughter!

Your first ballet class at Young Dance Academy, Inc.

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.
