From the reviews

Wonderful school for adult beginners. Technique-based class, not fitness-based, so you will learn and get stronger in a safe and fun environment! Love this company and Chieko!

★★★★★ — Corisu, Nov 2018

Went to my first ballet performance last season and was amazed by the talented dancers and the variety of pieces. I cannot wait for the new season and leadership! I definitely recommend checking out one of their shows.

Your first ballet class at Ballet Tucson

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
