Artisan is an amazing studio! It's rare to find a place that offers a truly supportive space for adults to dance. There are so many talented instructors and a variety of levels for each style - so you will be able find the level that's right for you.
I've been dancing at Artisan for almost 8 years now. I love the classes and that I can keep dancing past high school! I've performed in several of the Adult Ballet Company shows and in the Adult Showcase performances as well, all of which were very professional and inclusive to all levels of dancers!
I have taken adult dance classes at Artisan Dance Studio for almost 8 years and I cannot recommend this place enough! This is a supportive, welcoming, and positive environment for dancers of all ages and levels. The teachers are passionate and very knowledgeable about dance.
Adult ballet at Artisan Dance Studio
Artisan Dance Studio 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 Artisan Dance Studio
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.
