From the reviews
Lovely new classical ballet studio in Daphne. We love Ms. Kristi! She is a very talented and encouraging dance instructor. Highly recommend!
Ms. Kristi is incredibly talented and creative. She makes every dancer feel safe and fills every class with magical fun. My daughter has been dancing with her for two years and she loves it! I have loved watching her grow with confidence because of the skills and instruction taught by Ms. Kristi.
We started at classical Ballet when Ms. Kristi first opened. We didn't get to finish out the season because my daughter was having a hard time with somethings not Ballet related. That about broke my heart. From piano classes to Ballet, Ms.
I attended Kristi's Alice in Wonderland ballet show recently. It was soo adorable, and everyone on the stage was having a blast. I might even enroll in the adult classes. Can't wait to see another production, or even be in it 😊
Adult ballet at Classical Ballet Academy and Theatre LLC
Classical Ballet Academy and Theatre LLC runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Classical Ballet Academy and Theatre LLC
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.
