From the reviews
We absolutely love Yuma Ballet Academy. My daughter has been in ballet for 3 years. We love the staff they are like our second family. My daughter has learned so much in the 3 years she has been. She is super excited for next year as well. She has so much passion for dance.
I love this place! My sister’s daughter goes here, and I have seen SO MUCH improvement since she first walked through Ballet Yuma’s Doors! They NEVER fail to take my breath away with their outstanding performances! I would HIGHLY recommend going to their yearly production of The Nutcracker.
This is a great place if you are serious about your child becoming a professional dancer. They take things very seriously and their teachers are truly gifted dancers and do great work with the students.
We went to the Nutcracker last night. Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! That's all I can say.
Your first ballet class at Yuma Ballet 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.
