The programs they offer
“From the first time I walked into CML as an adult returner after having a stroke, I have experienced nothing but supportive teachers and amazing community.”
“I have been dancing with them as an adult for almost 10 years now, and my daughter for 10 years - we can't quite find enough good things to say about them.”

From the reviews
Amazing faculty and team that sincerely care about the students, the community, and movement arts. Over the years, this wonderful team has created a vibrant community, many young dancers have gone on to professional careers in dance, and they offer many performance opportunities for youth and adults.
Upon moving to Colorado last year, we were in search of a dance community that could elevate our young daughter's skill and continue to ignite her passion for classical ballet and other dance. This amazing faculty has done just that in tremendous ways!
Lovely teachers and such a warm welcoming environment. I love dancing here and can't wait to be back to take class with them again! Not many places offer an inclusive and wide range of adult dance classes but CML does! I can't hype them up enough!
Colorado Movement Lab is a fantastic organization whose values of vulnerability, authenticity, and empathy create a healthy and supportive environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels to train.
Adult ballet at Colorado Movement Lab
Colorado Movement Lab 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 Colorado Movement Lab
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.
