From the reviews
I have gone here for about a year now. Great school. The teachers are absolutely astonishing. They teach jazz, ballet, tap, modern and more. They have summer dance camps to enhance your skill over the summer. Every year they have their annual nutcracker performance at ICC during winter time.
Tonight I took my first class at CI Ballet, the adult open level class taught by Maya. It was truly a beautiful experience! The class had every level of dancer ability and age, and Maya addressed us all with care and grace.
Your first ballet class at Central Illinois 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.
