From the reviews
This is by far my favorite dance studio in Huntsville. I think it's important to mention that AYB is the ONLY STUDIO THAT ACCEPTS ADULTS AND CHALLENGES THEM. Most studios in Huntsville don't accept adults, and the ones that do place you in the "adult" or "open" classes, which aren't as challenging.
AYB is an amazing studio! It offers excellent instruction in many different disciplines of dance in a family friendly, supportive environment. The teachers are excellent and tuition is affordable. I also appreciate that AYB uses tasteful and age appropriate music, choreography, and costumes.
Highly recommend AYBT. Classes are available for children through adults. Family friendly studio, relaxed environment, and excellent instructors.
Adult ballet at Alabama Youth Ballet
Alabama Youth Ballet runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Alabama Youth Ballet
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.
