Cannot recommend this school highly enough. My daughter, who hated dance and did everything to avoid it, had one lesson and is now dance crazy. Lots of dance teachers teach kids to dance but here they teach kids to love dance and have confidence in themselves.— Redbox Graphic Design Web Designers

Most people begin with a beginner class or course covering posture, timing and one or two basic dances, then add steps and styles gradually.
The waltz is a common starting choice, as its steady three-count timing helps you feel the rhythm and hold a proper frame.
Yes. Adults take up ballet at all stages of life, enjoying its benefits for posture and strength, with adult-focused classes set at a comfortable pace.
There is no age that is too late for recreational ballet. Classes welcome adults of any age who wish to learn.
Common basics include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, shuffle and pivot turn, with most dances combining these repeating moves.
A short four-wall dance with just a few counts is the gentlest start, and teachers typically build the sequence up bit by bit.
