Sarah Beth is the real deal! As someone with nearly 20 years of dance experience (and 5+ years teaching), I can say with confidence—she’s an amazing instructor. Her adult classes are fun, welcoming, and perfect for dancers of all levels.
Great place for littles to learn to dance! My little one loves Miss Sarah! Sarah is kind and patient with the whole class and meets them right where they are and let's them be themselves!
I take the adult dance classes. Beth is an amazing teacher. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable in class.
Sarah Beth is the best. She's a great dance teacher. My daughter loves her and very kind and great with the kids!
Adult ballet at Aurora Dance Center
Aurora Dance Center 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 Aurora Dance Center
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.
