From the reviews
If you haven’t already signed up your kiddo, what are you waiting for? My daughter first met Brandi for the preschool literacy program, which is amazing. My daughter loves it so much that we often play “dance class” at home.
My daughter had her free trial today & she ABSOLUTELY loved it!! Ms Brandi is very hands on & energetic & matched my daughters energy very well! My daughter was super sad to leave but she is excited to go back!
Ms. Brandi is good, she knows what she's doing and works with you. I highly recommend her dance studio.
Amazing, hometown dance and gymnastics studio. My daughter has been begging to try gymnastics and when I saw a grand opening for Cressman in downtown Washington we jumped at the chance. We love it here ! Knowledgable instructors, clean studio, hometown feel.
Adult ballet at Cressman Dance Studio
Cressman Dance Studio 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 Cressman Dance Studio
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.
