I have no idea what the lady above me is talking about. Ballethnic is known world wide. If you're serious about learning to be a "real" technically trained dancer, this is THE place.
Ballethnic is one of the most Elite African American Ballet Companies in the United States, that Trains, Teaches and Tailors the talent and skills of young people, using their individual gifts in correlating them into multiple creative dance concepts and disciplines.
I want to express my gratitude for Ballethnic. I had been looking for a place where my oldest daughter could learn dance fundamentals and terminology while also having fun. It seemed that most places only had one or the other. At Ballethnic, she is getting the foundations of dance and also thoroughly enjoying herself.
Your first ballet class at Ballethnic Dance Co
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.
