“My son just started taking lessons and he absolutely loves it here!”
From the reviews
My daughter is in the pre-ballet class with Mrs. Catie. I love watching my little one learning about ballet moves, how to properly stretch, how to behave in class and listen to her teacher. She is so eager to go to classes and she is having so much fun. Mrs. Catie is really patient and caring with the kids.
Incredible personal care for students’ creative, technical, and artistic excellence. Classical Ballet taught with a conscience and holistic understanding of student wellness. Fun classes with visible improvement!
Love it here! Ms. Catie knows how to probably stretch and strengthen dancers. Amazing with little kids and so good at teaching technique. It’s truly amazing to take classes here.
My son just started taking lessons and he absolutely loves it here! They genuinely care about kids and where they want to go in life through ballet.
Adult ballet at Central Oklahoma Ballet Theatre
Central Oklahoma Ballet Theatre 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 Oklahoma Ballet Theatre
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.
