At Prestige Ballroom Dance Studios, we believe in the development of our Youth, and take great pride in being the most elite program in the Akron/Canton area.

Our Beginner Ballet Program is designed to introduce dancers to the fundamentals of ballet, strengthen their bodies while educating dancers on how to care for themselves, and grow in their confidence, poise, and self esteem.

NO ATHLETIC ATTIRE OF ANY SORT (ie. leggings, hoodies, t-shirts). CLOTHES SHOULD BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND FREE OF APPARENT WRINKLES, RIPS, OR STAINS.

For the gentleman, hair should be styled out of the face. For the ladies, hair should be secured in a presentable bun or ponytail if hair is not long enough.

Students should wear proper ballet slippers that are secured to their feet and in good repair. Street shoes (ie. Crocs, flip-flops, dirty tennis shoes) are not permitted. Students should bring a second pair of shoes to change into upon arrival. This helps maintain the integrity of the ballroom floor along with the shoes.

Students may bring water bottles back to the studio so long as they are in athletic bottles. Bottles with screw-like tops are not permitted in the studio to decrease the chance of spills.
