From the reviews
My partner and I host a West Coast Swing event here and have had the pleasure of working with the owner of this space, who is amazing and has been instrumental in the continued success of our event here!
Best performing arts center around, by far! Great place for people to express themselves in a non judgemental environment, this is rare, I can't say the same about other places near by. They have dance, singing, music, and more. Such a loving and safe environment.
I’ve had the pleasure of going here for almost 3 years now. While I mostly do swing dancing here; which I do recommend as it’s a blast! I’ve also taken Hindi classes here for over a year. The instructor was superb and super knowledgeable on the cultural significance of Hindi throughout the world.
Solid studio, lots of variety to choose from. They’re also quite flexible with last minute bookings, and have a variety of different room sizes to book if you want something to fit your budget. I’ve gone to some group classes and booked studio time for practice.
Adult ballet at Center for Performance Arts And Learning
Center for Performance Arts And Learning 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 Center for Performance Arts And Learning
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.
