From the reviews

My daughter started with Lisa when she was 11 years old. Lisa helped develop her as a dancer but also prepared her for the world of ballet. Her attention to detail and specific corrections have made my daughter's skill and knowledge of ballet on par with the top pre-professional schools in the country.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jul 2017

I am a dancer at Cuizon Ballet Centre and I would not be a dancer without this studio. From the amazing pilates instruction, to detailed and artistic ballet classes. This place is perfect for someone who is dedicated and serious about dance. Highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Spoonful, Jul 2017

Lisa Cuizon is the best ballet teacher in the area. She habeen wonderful in helping me get through injuries from other studios and making sure I don’t injure myself again. She is one of the few that teaches real ballet technique. She also makes sure that her staff are the best.

Adult ballet at Cuizon Ballet Centre

Cuizon Ballet Centre 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 Cuizon Ballet Centre

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
