Ballet is for YOU!

Join our entry level class designed for students with no or very little prior experience. 

Geared towards new adult beginners, this class is a slow and thorough introduction to ballet. Carefully guided by your encouraging teacher you will feel mentally and physically challenged during class, as well as invigorated after class.

After completion of this class, students may choose to repeat the introduction class or move to one of our Adult Ballet 1 classes.

Have you dreamed about learning ballet but thought you’d “missed the boat”?  
You haven’t!
If you have the desire,
this is the perfect class to bring ballet into your life in a safe, steady and supported way.

This class will be held at our spacious studio and is limited to 16 students. 

Can't make all classes? No problem.
Missed classes may be made up in other beginning level classes
towards the end of your session. 


"I wanted to personally share with you how much I enjoyed your class. Your combination of visual and verbal instruction helps learners of all levels to easily grasp and understand the concepts of ballet. Although I was nervous to try this class, the minute you began teaching I felt at ease and quite comfortable challenging my body with this unfamiliar activity.
I really loved learning small routines paired with music and found it both physically and mentally rewarding!" ~Ballet U Adult Student

This class is for you if you:

  • Have never taken ballet before, or have very little prior experience
  • Are completely new to ballet terminology and positions
  • Want to learn the fundamentals at a comfortable pace
  • Would benefit from having exercises and terminology explained from the beginning
  • Are returning to ballet after a very long break and would prefer to rebuild your foundation
  • Are looking for an introduction to ballet before committing to an ongoing class

You don't need to:

  • Be flexible
  • Have dance experience
  • Know ballet terminology
  • Have a particular body type or physical ability
  • Be able to turn, jump, or balance on one leg

What we'll work on:

Basic ballet positions, posture and alignment, barre exercises, coordination, port de bras, musicality, balance, and introductory center work.

After completing the 10-week session:
Students who are ready to continue will generally move into Ballet 1, although some students may benefit from repeating the beginner session before moving on.

What to wear? 

Most of our adult students wear workout clothes.  Some prefer to dance in more traditional ballet clothes, i.e. leotard and tights.

Wear whatever you are comfortable with. Fitted clothing is recommended, so you can observe your alignment in our mirrors. We recommend ballet slippers and have them for sale at our office ($23-30). Socks also work for your first few classes.

From day one -- as an adult beginner who had never taken ballet -- I felt completely accepted, empowered, and supported. The instructors are all absolutely inspiring women who create a warm, inclusive atmosphere in their classes at every level. Every class, I leave feeling more positive, strong, and centered. Whether you are a professional or a complete beginner, you are made to feel like you belong -- and you are challenged to be your own personal best. I can not recommend this studio and these instructors enough!  ~Ballet U Adult Student
