From the reviews
One of the best studios I have had the honour of dancing at, filled with so so many kind, helpful, and understanding parents, dancers, and instructors. I've been dancing here for almost four years with Virginia and Carrie as my instructors and I have nothing but positive feedback and experiences.
This studio is nurturing and the director and instructors are amazing. My daughter took classes here for years and loved it. She grew as a dancer and learned how to be part of an excellent dance company. The technique and skill taught at this studio is top notch!
My daughter loves going to ballet. The instructor is very patient with the kids. The studio is a classic remodeled Victorian. Very friendly atmosphere. Absolutely recommend it. Not just for ballet, but Tap, and Creative dance.
Cozy and humble dance studio. Walking inside to a miniature fireplace and a carpeted entrance. The studio director/ owner is communicative, approachable and is a compassionate leader. This studio is what the dance community in Humboldt needs. Schedule has a wide range of dance styles.
Adult ballet at Dance Scene Studio
Dance Scene 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 Dance Scene 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.
