Ballet Adora

Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💛

We are currently having our air conditioning replaced at the studio and the process is taking longer than we expected it to! Due to it being actively under construction we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel classes this afternoon in order for the HVAC company to be able to complete the renovation. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will send you make up class options ASAP! 💛

It feels so good to be back in the swing of the semester! It’s been so great seeing so many familiar faces and meeting lots of new friends too! 🩵

Dolly Parton’s heart was always with her Tennessee Mountain Home. 💛 What a tremendous singer, songwriter, business woman, philanthropist, and Tennessean. We will always love you, Dolly! 🦋

Happy first day of the fall semester!! As we start classes today we look back on 14 years of God’s faithfulness and our hearts are so full of gratitude to our wonderful community! 💛

Excellence & kindness are always chic 🩰

Lydia Vanatta started dancing at Ballet Adora in the fall of 2017 and never left! Over the past 9 years, she’s trained in Ballet, Pointe, and Contemporary. She is such a valuable member of our community and a presence of grace and kindness to everyone around her!

Some of her favorite things to do aside from dancing include being at home with her family, taking walks, and crocheting. Her favorite snacks are Cheez-Its and apples. Lydia is so thankful for Ballet Adora and is excited to be joining the amazing community in a new way! 💛

Sophie Bayes is our new administrative assistant at Ballet Adora this year and we are so excited to have her join us! She is well known to so many of our students already from her work at Whiz Kids Preschool and Anchor Academy and is a much loved presence in our community.

A few fun things about Sophie: she’s newly engaged, she loves spending time with the people she loves, she’s getting excited about all things wedding-related, and she enjoys trying new things. Her go-to snacks are definitely Shirley Temple Poppi or jalapeño chips! She is so excited to be here and can’t wait to make new memories and friendships with everyone at Ballet Adora! 💛

Lydia Poole is the studio manager of Ballet Adora and has been a key part in growing the studio from a small number of classes to a school serving hundreds of students per week. She is a former dancer herself and she trained at The Studio School of the Arts near Atlanta, GA and The Ballet School in Valdosta, GA studying ballet and pointe. She has been a part of the stage management team for Ballet Adora’s productions of Hinds’ Feet on High Places, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Christy, our 10th anniversary show, The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, and Little Women. She’s been on staff since 2016 and Ballet Adora wouldn’t exist without her!

Lydia oversees Ballet Adora’s logistical recital planning through tickets, costumes, programs, and studio communications. She also plays a large part in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at the studio and she is frequently lending a helping hand to little ones or a listening ear to studio mamas. Her humor, decisiveness, and nurturing heart are greatly valued by us all! We also appreciate her providing us with our studio mascot 👶🏻🥰
