Attitude Classical Academy (ACA) is proud to offer an elite classical ballet program designed to inspire, challenge, and support the next generation of dancers. Our mission is to cultivate a deep passion for classical ballet and a commitment to excellence, through holistic and professional training in a safe, nurturing environment.
At ACA, we believe in developing technically proficient, artistically expressive, and musically refined dancers. Our curriculum is carefully designed to complement home studio training, while accelerating progress toward personal dance goals, competitions, auditions, and professional pathways.
Attitude Classical Academy runs three intensive training days per term, allowing dancers to fully immerse themselves in focused, high-caliber training that builds upon their existing studio work. Upon receiving a spot within the program, we will set up a meeting with you and your dancer to discuss their specific goals, plans and what they wish to achieve out of being an ACA student. ACA Training days are always held on a Friday and term dates are released well in advance to allow families to plan ahead with ease.
Training Focus:
Designed for aspiring young ballet dancers, our enriching level 1/2 program nurtures both technical skill and artistic expression. Through focused classical training, dancers deepen their understanding of foundational technique while cultivating musicality, creativity, and discipline. Beyond the studio, we empower students with tools for personal growth—emphasizing mindset, goal-setting, and the strength of individuality. This program supports dancers in becoming not just stronger performers, but more confident young people.
Stepping into a pre-professional environment, our Level 3/4 program is designed for dedicated dancers ready to refine their craft and explore their unique artistic voice. With a strong focus on building strength, precision, and technical versatility, students are also guided through solo variation preparation and performance. Our diverse training includes challenging repertoire classes and comprehensive technique development, encouraging dancers to push their boundaries and grow with confidence.
