From the reviews
We have been going to Betty's since our daughter was 3. She is now 11 and we couldn't imagine being anywhere else! Every dancer/family that comes in the door is greeted with a smile and fun conversation. The staff is very helpful, kind and the BEST!!
We love Betty's School of Dance. All of our girls have taken classes there, and my oldest is now a volunteer and helps lead several classes. The instructors are all kind and loving toward the students. We also enjoy the annual Nutcracker and Spring recital. We could not imagine them taking classes anywhere else.
Such a wonderful group of people! Our little girl is always so excited to go dance! Everyone makes the kids feel so welcomed and comfortable. We love Bettys!
Betty’s School Dance truly cares about their dancers. They give professional and creative instructions to help each dancer achieve their goals.
Adult ballet at Betty's School of Dance
Betty's School of Dance 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 Betty's School of Dance
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.
