What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no age that is too late to learn ballet for enjoyment. Adult sessions welcome beginners of any age.

Common basics are the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. These combine to form complete line-dance routines.

Short four-wall dances with repeating steps are the easiest to pick up first. The school can recommend a suitable beginner dance.
