From the reviews
My son has been going to this studio for 7 years! He started when he was 4 years old. The owners Rob & Chandra and teachers Victoria and others have done so well at training my son so far! They have the kids best interests at heart! I am so happy we found our home studio since the first class he took!
Our daughter recently completed a ballet intensive at this studio, and we were incredibly impressed. She’s been dancing since she was three and has trained at other studios, but this experience really stood out.
I can't say enough good things about this studio! The teachers are excellent and it has been amazing to see students continuously improve in their technique over the years.
Adult ballet at Denver Academy of Ballet
Denver Academy of Ballet 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 Denver Academy of Ballet
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.
