From the reviews
As an adult dancer - this studio is amazing. The staff are so supportive, the instruction is incredible, there is so much space for adult dancers to graduate to higher classes. This is everything you've ever wanted in a ballet studio. No one is going to comment negatively on your body here.

We have been very happy with the level of technical instruction, artistic direction, and positive environment. Ballet Royale is a place any and all dancers will reach their fullest potential. Each dancer is given opportunities to excel and be the best they can be. The staff are open and honest.
My daughter and I love Ballet Royale! The teachers and directors always put the well being of the dancer first. They make a point (pun intended) to know their dancers, and even their parents' names. Rick and Denise are wonderful and their love and dedication to their students is much appreciated from this dance mom!
Adult ballet at Ballet Royale Minnesota
Ballet Royale Minnesota 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 Royale Minnesota
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.
