From the reviews
Amazing ballet training with a world-renowned teacher in a beautiful new location. Cleveland Ballet Theatre makes ballet approachable for all ages, and at all levels of dance. My daughter and I both enjoy private ballet classes as well as group instruction.
The New Stretch class Gran clase dirigida por Gg con su excelente personalidad y profesionalismo trabaja en un espacio con buen ambiente y libre de juicio, donde puedes conseguir conectar mente y cuerpo y con cada movimiento sentir la acción en los músculos.
This place feels like home. Cleveland Ballet Theatre made returning to ballet as an adult an incredible experience. After the first class, I knew I had found my studio. Mrs. Guadalupe and my classmates are all very welcoming and encouraging. Everything just feels right here.
My daughter has found her place here! After trying many ballet schools and teachers, her confidence, skills, and knowledge have grown tremendously under the instructors at the Cleveland Ballet Theatre. She is also inspired by the community, excellence, and motivation of her fellow classmates and students!
Adult ballet at Cleveland Ballet Theatre
Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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.
