From the reviews
The instant I was introduced to Ballet In The City in summer of 2019, I knew that they were an organization I wanted to be a part of. The constant encouragement and support given by the organization is unbelievable and everyone in the BIC family shares connections that seem unmatched for never meeting a lot of these…
I have been taking Zoom classes online since my studio closed last year due to the pandemic. Ms. Jessica has brought together some of the finest dancers to not only teach, but to mentor us younger dancers just starting out. When I started taking classes I expected to learn and keep dancing throughout the pandemic.
I’ve been supporting Ballet in the City and their wonderful program for almost a year now as a fan and was recently selected as an adult ballet ambassador! I had the opportunity to attend a few events last year but was unable to due to my own schedule but I’m so looking forward to the wonderful opportunities to come…
I have been apart of Ballet in the City since I applied for and received the 2018 BIC/Discount Dance scholarship, and words cannot express how incredible these few years have been. Ballet in the City has created and given numerous opportunities for beginner to professional ballet dancers.
Adult ballet at Ballet in the City
Ballet in the City runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 in the City
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.
