Ages 18 and up
Adult ballet
A ballet class for adults who have never danced and adults who stopped years ago. Nobody is behind here; everyone starts where they are.
Melba teaches the daytime and Saturday classes, and she came back to ballet as an adult herself. Evening classes are shared with teens at the Intermediate level and above. You don't need a partner, a leotard or any experience.

What the first weeks tend to look like, in four steps.
- 01
Step 1: Book a placement visit
Take a class and talk with Melba or Alfonzo about what you have done, and what you want.
- 02
Step 2: Start at the barre
The first classes are about the barre: how to stand, how to hold your arms, and how the steps are named.
- 03
Step 3: Learn the order
Each class follows the same order, so the steps become familiar and the combinations get longer.
- 04
Step 4: Stay as long as you like
Many adults take one class a week for years. Others take a second class, or try pointe or conditioning.
Good to know
What to wear
Workout clothes you can move in, or a leotard and tights if you like. Soft slippers or socks are fine at first.

Morning classes run an hour and fifteen minutes, and evening classes up to an hour and a half.
Class size
Classes of up to 12 students. Nobody is singled out at the barre.
Your level
Most adults start in Foundations. If you danced as a child, tell us and we may suggest Elementary.
