I have had my girls going to Balance dance for the last 10 years and we love it! Miss Paula and all of the teachers are so kind and amazing with the dancers!

My daughter has danced for over 10 years at Balance Dance. Miss Paula is a wonder of sheer dance talent, positive outlook on life and energy. My daughter with special needs has felt loved in every class because of the positivity of the teachers who also carefully taught important dance moves and technique.
We’ve got multiple kids in different dance classes at Balance. They have a great time. It’s not too intense, yet gives them a great experience. It’s fun and they learn. That’s perfect for us!
I have taught here since 2014 and I keep teaching here because of how amazing Paula (owner and director) is! She runs things in a professional and loving welcoming way. She gets it.
Adult ballet at Balance Studio
Balance 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 Balance 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.
