From the reviews
I have been going to the adult ballet classes at Dance Fremont for a year and a half now. The instructors are amazing - so supportive, fun and effective. Classes are accessible yet challenging and I have never felt embarrassed about not knowing how to do something or just being my usual awkward clumsy self.
Youth Programs & Open Adult Ballet. Go here for: live accompaniment, technique, alignment, and exciting choreography.
With ballet studios closed due to the pandemic, online classes at Dance Fremont are an excellent option to keep dancing and feel like belonging to a community. Classes usually have a live pianist, which feels extra special. Video and audio quality are very high, and the admin staff is well-organised and competent.
I'll leave a review as a parent; Dance Fremont is really special. They have a high standard, they have a positive culture, they are selective in terms of how the quality of the dancers spur one another on...but is attuned to the right level.
Adult ballet at Dance Fremont
Dance Fremont 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 Dance Fremont
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.
