★★★★★Ginette TeixeiraI appreciate the love, support, dedication and training my daughter receives at ABA. What I like most is all the staff care about their students, helping them to develop, highlighting their best skills.
★★★★★Katie Choquette NardolilloWe love ABA! My daughter is in the Creative Movement class. Ms. Caroline & the other instructors are phenomenal. They are all talented, kind & are great with the children. The students who assist the classes are truly amazing as well. My daughter loves going to dance and is upset when she is unable to make it to class. Ms. Meg is the studio manager. She’s friendly and one of the warmest & kindest people I’ve ever met! In addition the employees, students & parents/ guardians are super nice and not pretentious. The whole vibe at ABA is awesome!
★★★★★Darlene LecoJacksonAmerican Ballet Academy is an absolutely wonderful dance academy! The owners and teachers are warm and welcoming and treat everyone with kindness and respect. I’ve been taking adult ballet classes at ABA for almost 5 years and am so happy with this academy. The lessons are taught in a very professional manner where we learn history along with beautiful ballet technique, all while having a lot of fun! I’ve met lots of new friends of all ages and abilities. Every adult is made to feel welcome and supported. Movement is excellent for the body and mind, and American Ballet Academy is definitely the place to join if you’re looking for a great place to dance!
★★★★★Emily DePaulMy daughter has been taking lessons at American Ballet Academy for the last year and we couldn’t be happier. Every week she looks forward to going to class. This is a welcoming studio with a wonderful community. So glad we found ABA!
★★★★★Emily HoweAmerican Ballet Academy is by far one of the most professional but family oriented ballet studios in RI. Before Covid they were taking precautions and keeping the studio clean and updated - since then they've gone above and beyond. The entire staff is well versed in many techniques - it's a warm and welcoming environment - all children are welcome and safe. The staff communicates the schedule clearly and often, my daughter started a year ago and has come out of her shell and fallen in love with it.Their prices are fair and we couldn't be happier.
