From the reviews
I can not recommend Biancas studio enough. She is the most wonderful teacher. Her stretching classes are great for working out any kinks in your body and her six week intro to ballet class for adults is great for anyone with an interest in dance. I have never had a bad class from her be it stretching or ballet.
I took Bianca Lily's Beginning Adult Ballet class. It was wonderful. I was a new ballet dancer at almost 50yo. I took the class with my 77 yo Mother. We loved it. I appreciated how Bianca really started from the beginning and very clearly explained how to do the ballet move and take care of and protect your body.
I enrolled in Bianca’s Intro to Ballet and just completed part 1. I danced as a child, but after a 15 year hiatus, I never would have thought that I could begin again at 33 years old. Her studio made my dream of dancing as an adult possible; and her classes have improved my posture, physique, and my self confidence.
I took the intro ballet class with Bianca. It was an amazing experience. Bianca is a very talented teacher/dancer. She gives very clear instructions, kind, beautiful and humorous, her class is always fun and interesting, everybody was enjoying it very much.
Adult ballet at Bianca Lily Ballet
Bianca Lily Ballet 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 Bianca Lily Ballet
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.
