Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, adult ballet is very much a thing and beginner classes exist for people who never trained as children. You build posture, strength and flexibility at your own pace, with no pressure to perform.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no age at which it is too late to enjoy ballet. Adults take it up in every decade of life for the poise and fitness it offers, and beginner adult classes are designed exactly for that.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Ballet is danced solo rather than in pairs, so it is ideal if you want to learn on your own. You focus entirely on your own technique and progress.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

For ballet, comfortable close-fitting clothing such as leggings and a fitted top lets the teacher see your alignment. Soft ballet shoes are ideal, though clean flat soles or even socks are fine for a first try.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Ballet class fees vary with the level, length and whether you pay by term or per session. For current pricing at this school, it is best to contact them directly.

Which dance is best for beginners?

Ballet is a rewarding beginner choice because it builds a strong foundation of posture, control and coordination that carries over into other dance styles. Beginner classes start with the very basics, so no experience is needed.
