From the reviews
Absolutely love this new addition to the Crossroads! Studio is beautiful and instructors are so kind. The owner is super good with kids and my daughter loves her class and instructor. Every one feels super welcomed here, regardless of age experience or anything else! 10/10 recommend!
I’ve been amazed every year at the growth and development of my dancer in this company. My daughter loves dance because of BASTX. Looking forward to the next season of dance and the improvement she will show through her hard work and superior training BASTX has taught her. Definitely recommend.
Thank you for all the time and effort, attention and love that you all put into the kids. They have so enjoyed their BASTX classes and instructors and I feel so relieved to have found such a professional and caring dance studio.
My daughter has danced under the instruction of Brenda Tally for years and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the studio or instructors! A+++!
Adult ballet at Ballet Academy of South Texas
Ballet Academy of South Texas 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 Ballet Academy of South Texas
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.
