From the reviews
We miss the old Ballet Hawaii studio location BUT the wide open spaces, large bathroom, and vast parking are nice changes. Great repurposing of the unused Dole Cannery ballrooms to make their transition into a successful one.
i think 1day ballerina come to Africa for dance ballet welcome. congratulations for everyone who dance ballet 🙏
Excellent studio! My daughter excelled with the help of the teachers who were friendly and very helpful!
an amazing school with great teachers of the professional background. students have a fun environment where they get to make life long friends.
Adult ballet at Ballet Hawaii
Ballet Hawaii 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 Hawaii
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.
