Adult Beginning & Intermediate Ballet

For adults ages 16+ who have always wanted to study ballet or wish they had never stopped as a child. Develop ballet posture, flexibility, and strength in four- or five-week sessions to accommodate busy adult schedules. Choose from two levels below, all designed for the adult student.

Absolute Beginner: What is fifth position? This is your class! Introduction to ballet that focuses on the basics, stretching, and muscle conditioning. And don't worry….If you already have some ballet experience, you will still get a great workout!

Advanced Beginner: Develop ballet posture, flexibility, and strength. This class leans toward a high-level beginner & low intermediate syllabus.

Missed Classes: Students have the opportunity to make up their missed classes during their current session, if there is another same- or lower-level class available on the schedule. They can also make up for one missed class in the next session (provided that they inform the instructor in advance). If more than one class is missed, students will forfeit payment for the additional missed classes in order to ensure commitment to the course schedule, and to respect the time and resources allocated for each session.
