From the reviews
Yes - we are Srtrict. Yes, we are professionals with many years of the real-life experience in the dance industry. Our goal is to prepare your child for the obstacles of the real world! A specially if they choose the ballet career, this is what we known for and what we have been doing our best for the last 22 years.
Overall, this is a very good ballet academy, and we have been pleased with the instruction received over the past couple of years. There is a place here for the serious artist, looking to build a career in dance, as well as for those who just want to dance for the pleasure of it, for a hobby.
Both of my girls danced with Central Florida Ballet. They enjoyed the productions they auditioned for and the professional training by some of the best instructors. They did go to other dance studios throughout their years but by far the experiences they had at CFB provided them the ability to flourish.
One of the best ballet studio/academy in the Orlando area. They have great teachers with many years of experience. Over the years many of their students have moved in to dance with great ballet companies like Pittsburgh Ballet and Theater, Boston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and many others.
Adult ballet at Central Florida Ballet
Central Florida 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 Central Florida 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.
