From the reviews

I have been dancing since I could stand up on my little feet and feel a groove. I always loved Hip Hop as a kid, but now as an adult, Rahway Dance Theatre allows me to explore Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Street Jazz, and African (and probably much more if I wanted!).

★★★★★ — Cristiana, Jun 2024

Now 2024, my daughter is now in the 3rd year at RDT. I've seen a major improvement in her performance. Yesterday, recital brought so much joy to our family. We had fun cheering on all of the performers. My little one absolutely loves going to RDT. It's made her more confident in herself.

★★★★★ — Carl, Jun 2024

I have looked for a long time for a place like this and now I am obsessed. As an adult looking for dance classes that are open to all levels, ages, sizes and personalities, I am ecstatic that I found this place. Places around me that had adult classes were already hard to find.

Adult ballet at AbunDance: Legacy of Dance

AbunDance: Legacy of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.

Your first ballet class at AbunDance: Legacy of Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
