Citrus Heights Dance Academy

We have been at this studio for eight months now… My six year old daughter loves her ballet class!!! She just added a tap class and is super exited about it too! The teachers and staff are delightful! I highly recommend this studio for anyone with a little girl who wants to start learning about the fundamentals of dance.

A great little studio. My daughter enjoys going each week to pre ballet. The teacher is very polite and gives out prizes at the end of class. She has unfortunately obtained very little knowledge and i was very disheartened to see all the small kids get a 30 second part in a play that i have to pay $ 12 – 15 to get into after paying $ 55 a month for half the year. As a former dancer, my schools have given equal opportunities to all children to have their own song to go out and perform no matter what level. I’ll unfortunately be seeking another school next year. Hopefully a more traditional recital can be adopted.

We are very happy we found this dance studio. My daughters both love coming to class and have learned a lot in a short time. They focus on technique but also help grow a true love to dance. The teachers and staff are very helpful and friendly. They know how to run a studio.

My two children (5 and 7) have been attending The Citrus Heights Dance Academy pre-​ballet program since August. They love it! The instructor Mrs. Barker is fantastic with children! They have gained confidence, poise, grace and skill in the last 4 months. Just recently the Academy put on a professional performance of The Nutcracker giving each child a carefully choreographed part! It was a fantastic show put on by a fantastic dance studio. I highly recommend enrolling your children!

This year at Citrus Heights Dance Academy has been amazing! It’s a family run place and the owners have always been so helpful and kind. The pre-​ballet teacher, Ms. Barker, is an absolute expert with little ones. Every class they learn technique and discipline, but it’s done in such a playful, age-​appropriate way, the kids just think they’re having fun dancing. No booty shaking here (unlike the studio we went to last year). This is just real ballet with real ballet music taught by a real ballerina. At the same time, it’s not stuffy at all, but so much fun dancing with magic wands, princess crowns and jumping over rainbows drawn on the chalkboard floor. We will be sticking with this studio for the long-​term.

Excellent dance studio!
