From the reviews
I go to CaZo Dance Theatre on Saturdays for the Adult Contemporary classes. I have never danced in my life, but at the tender age of 53 decided I needed to try dance. So, I jumped in at another studio and loved it.
I have 3 boys and they have been at Cazo for almost 3 years now. They have tried almost every class and love every single one and the teachers! The center is amazing, all the teachers are so patient and kind, my kids look forward to class every week and learning new dances.
We absolutely LOVED working with Bridgette at CaZo Dance! We reached out to her for a choreographed first dance for our wedding and it was perfect! She created a custom song for us as a mixture of two different songs we wanted and choreographed a beautiful dance.
We had THE best experience with Bridgette! My husband and I wanted a fun mashup for our "first dance" and we were NOT disappointed and neither were our guests. We received so many compliments.
Adult ballet at CaZo Dance Center
CaZo Dance Center 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 CaZo Dance Center
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.
