From the reviews

My favorite ballet school. It's the best one for non-dancers. I started with 0 ballet skills and have improved a lot over time. They have awesome teachers and classes are never crowded. Recommend 100%

★★★★★ — Anna, Feb 2024

Amazing, amazing experience I would not have anticipated. I have been to about 16 classes here over about 10 weeks. I am nearly 50 and thought that the discipline of ballet would help me reduce pain and stretch my brain. It is doing all that, and more.

The Ballet Body Fitness class is the best! I have been looking for a REAL barre workout like dancers do and I found it here. Beautiful studio too.

★★★★★ — Gina, Mar 2016

The team is fantastic and very supportive of both beginners and experienced. They give quality feedback and encourage growth no matter the skill level. The studio is clean and feels professional. They have bathrooms there for changing and a place to store your carry in items.

Your first ballet class at Ballet & Body

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
