June's Academy of Ballet

At June’s Academy of Ballet, we believe dance is more than movement—it’s a gateway to discipline, creativity, and self-love. Founded by Cierra Thompson, a former aspiring ballerina and scholar at the University of Georgia’s Women’s Studies Institute, our program combines the elegance of ballet with empowering self-affirmation strategies to nurture strength, grace, and confidence in every child. From the twirl of a tutu to the sparkle of a tiara, we honor the fantasy that inspires so many little girls to dream of being ballerinas. But the true magic happens as they grow—learning discipline, boldness, and the beauty of self-expression in a world that often asks them to shrink. As Sydney Gurewitz Clemens reminds us, "Art helps children become like themselves, not like everyone else." Since 2018, June’s Academy of Ballet has evolved from a summer camp to a multi-faceted program offering online, in-person, and mobile classes—making us the only preschool dance program of its kind. Through our unique approach, children not only master ballet technique but also develop emotionally and spiritually with self-love guidance woven into every class. Give your child the gift of dance—and watch them shine! Together, let’s inspire the next generation to take up space and change the world through the arts. Join us today!
