What families & students say
From the reviews
We've absolutely loved our experience at Centre Ballet. Ms Noel is so patient and accepting of all her students but is able to keep them focused at the same time. My daughter has learned not only ballet but also important musical and artistry concepts like rhythm, composers, and discipline.
I love Centre Ballet! As an adult with no previous ballet experience I was welcomed into the adult ballet class and through the instruction of skilled teachers have gained strength, flexibility, and dance skills I did not think possible of myself.
This is a wonderful place to learn ballet! Ms. Noel is very patient, and classically trained. She teaches more than moves for dance, she teaches a love for the arts. Students study composers, the moves of the art, and performance. Many opportunities are encouraged for other forms of the arts. Ms.
Love Centre Ballet! My grandchild has learned so much in just a short period of time! Noel is patient and brings out the best in her students. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about learning classical ballet techinque.
Adult ballet at Centre Ballet Conservatory
Centre Ballet Conservatory 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 Centre Ballet Conservatory
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.
