From the reviews
I really like December's Dance. It's more of a casual environment compared to other's in the area. And that's what I wanted instead of the higher stress result studios. And it's more affordable. Ciara is super nice.
The owners/teachers at this studio are so knowledgeable, kind, fun, and make every class an uplifting and positive experience. They're wonderful for kids (there aren't many clogging studios in the Salt Lake valley...clogging is a blast and kids love it!
As someone who had never danced before, the welcoming atmosphere of December's Dance is the highlight of my week. Nia and Ciara are super knowledgeable and go at the perfect pace for me.
I’ve been taking their adult ballet and contemporary classes and love it so much! Such a positive environment that gives me a safe space to learn and move
Adult ballet at December's Dance
December's Dance 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 December's Dance
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.
