From the reviews
i've been dancing at ballet east for about two years and it has been a great experience! everyone is so kind and i've improved a lot. definitely recommend!!
Ballet East is a cheerful, loving, respectful environment which exudes and fosters the love of dance for all who enter its doors. The owner is warm and accessible and the program she and her amazing team deliver is professional, organized, and effective.
Ballet East is a class act! My granddaughter has been dancing at BE for 3 years and we are extremely happy with each and every aspect of this studio! It’s a well-organized dance program of professional quality. Amazing and highly qualified teachers. A caring and dedicated director.
I can not express enough good things about Ballet East! From the moment we walked through the doors on day one, we felt part of a community that not only foster a love for dance but also cares, nurtures and instruct the students to be the best version of themselves. THE TEAM. What an amazing group of professionals!
Adult ballet at BALLET EAST
BALLET EAST 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 EAST
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.
