From the reviews
I did ballet for many years starting as a child and dancing pre-professionally through high school and minored in dance in college. When I moved to Madison, I stopped dancing for almost two years before I found Ballet U's adult division. The adult division is great!!
I danced for most of my childhood and teen years, and once upon a time aspired to be a professional performer. But as it does, life has a different plan. When I tried to dance again in adulthood, I found the places I lived lacked adult ballet classes beyond beginner level, and I had difficulty maintaining interest in…
The adult ballet program is hands down the best there is available in the area. I only had a few months here and there of ballet as a child, but can remember wanting so much more.
I just recently started classes at Ballet U as a 21 year-old who hasn't danced since I was 14. I am having the best time. It is hard to try something new and feel uncomfortable at first, but the environment, teacher Stephanie, and the other ballerinas are extremely welcoming.
Adult ballet at Ballet U, LLC
Ballet U, LLC 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 U, LLC
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.
