From the reviews
Love this studio. Very family friendly environment, excellent teachers who are just as effective with younger/new dancers as with experienced dancers, age appropriate instruction from Pre-K level to adult, and a wide range of experiences, personalities, and teaching strikes amongst the staff.
Both of my girls go here and they absolutely love it. And it says a lot too when my very picky wife also loves the place :-) deservedly so because she took ballet for many years as a child as well thank you DBC!
As a former DBC graduate and long-time company member, I spent much of my childhood and teen years at DBC. The faculty are like a second family. And while the ballet training is superb, more importantly, the warm and healthy atmosphere is far and above that of other ballet companies in the metroplex.
Dallas Ballet Center is a wonderful facility – but not just for ballet – they offer many other kinds of dance from tap and jazz to hip hop. Not only is the staff talented (most of the teachers have danced professionally), but they care for their students personally. There is no better facility in the metroplex!
Adult ballet at Dallas Ballet Center
Dallas Ballet Center 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 Dallas Ballet Center
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.
