From the reviews
Im so happy i found this place! Who knew at the age of 50 I'd be on pointe!! I have followed the progression from absolute beginners workshop to drop in classes and now pointe. There is no other place i could ever have done this with. A shout out to Miss Lucy! She is an incredible instructor and human.
My initial experience with Ballet Austin was very quiet and reserved. I am a very out-going person and it did not seem to me that the Ballet Beginner 1 and the Absolute Ballet 1 groups were outgoing.
I really do enjoy Ballet Austin, and have been taking classes with them off-and-on since I was a kid. Their offerings range from classical ballet to samba to Glee-workshops and every one that I have attended has been fun, invigorating and winsome. The teachers are encouraging and know what they are doing.
This is a professional ballet and dance company. My daughter has definitely improved and has become more disciplined in her craft. If you’re in the area and are a serious dancer, Ballet Austin should be one of your first stops.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Austin
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.
