From the reviews
This is my daughters second year at Ballet Arts and we just adore all the staff immensely. They are so dedicated and Kathleen is always available to answer questions or talk about the program. All the kids have a blast from the PRE-K up to Pointe students.
My daughter has enjoyed dancing at Ballet Arts of Bucks County for the past seven years. The ballet curriculum and instruction are the best in the area. The artistic director and staff are skilled at fostering a love of dance along with high quality education in classical ballet.
There is no other place we would send our daughters. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful ballet studio with first class teachers. The owner Kathleen not only runs a great ballet studio, but she is one of the most generous and caring people we have ever met. Thank you for teaching and loving our girls.
My daughter has been a student of Ballet Arts of Bucks County (BABC) for nine years. She loves it! BABC provides top notch ballet training in a nurturing and respectful environment. We feel very lucky to have access to such wonderful training in the heart of Doylestown!
Adult ballet at Ballet Arts of Bucks County
Ballet Arts of Bucks County 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 Arts of Bucks County
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.
