From the reviews
The Charlotte School of Ballet is an exceptional place for aspiring dancers of all ages. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that fosters creativity and passion for dance.
My daughter had her 6th birthday celebration at the Charlotte School of Ballet. And she loved it! The staff was super friendly and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend!
I found this school by accident and instantly fell in love... I wanted my 8yr old to do ballet and I've been getting the run around at different places including a popular school thats uptown and this one was the only one that handled us with Care and was happy to tell us about their services and what classes are…
Both of my daughters really enjoy ballet, and this place is top-notch in my book. My kids love it, and have been dancing for over 10 years. Highly recommended!
Adult ballet at Charlotte School of Ballet
Charlotte School of 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 Charlotte School of 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.
