OUTSTANDING ENERGY FUN & FITNESS ❣️❣️❣️Been for Barre & Dance Fitness with my Girlfriends and had a blast while getting a fabulous workout! Fun, energetic, clean, and perfectly on point! Bri’s energy, experience with dance and fitness, and bubbly goodness is fabulous! Making it fun to workout again!
I can't say enough about how wonderful BA Studios has been for our daughter Kathy. She absolutely loves her ballet and hip hop classes—each session is a highlight of her week. The instructors are incredibly talented and passionate, creating an environment where kids not only learn but truly enjoy dancing.
BA studios has released an original dance production every 6 months for the last year and a half that my child has been taking classes here. Every one has been a gem for us but the latest, after midnight, was just a cherry on top.
Bri is an amazing teacher and owner. She makes going to class fun. I was very scared to join ballet as an adult and for the first time, and I am glad I chose to go here to BA. All the staff, and the fellow students are very friendly and welcoming. The workout classes too are very challenging and fulfilling.
Adult ballet at BA Studios
BA Studios 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 BA Studios
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.
