Best decision of our lives, joining the Baxter Training family. My daughter has had experience dancing since she was almost three, being on several local competition teams and even competing in cheer a few years.

★★★★★ — Tara, May 2023

My granddaughter has been dancing with Baxter Dance Co since it began. She loves it so much and I’ve watched her grow in maturity, strength and camaraderie. She can’t wait to get to training’s, competitions and performances. It has been such a joy to see her excel in the thing she loves and wants to make her career!

My gifted granddaughter has danced with Baxter for several years. It is a warm and inviting atmospheric, they are moving into a new, modern, updated facility in a month. I highly recommend Baxter.

Adult ballet at Baxter Dance Training

Baxter Dance Training 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 Baxter Dance Training

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.
