From the reviews
I danced for several years in my teens, and then took a ten year break. I checked out this place several months ago, and then life got busy and I unfortunately didn't follow through. That's my only regret about this place!

I have been taking beginner adult ballet classes here for 6 months and I love it so much! Miss Cleo is very knowledgeable and professional, she has been teaching for a long time and I feel like I’ve learned so quickly under her supervision. There are a wide variety of beginner to advanced classes, 6 days a week.
I've attended several ballet schools, and this one stands out as the best by far. Cleo is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, and her teaching skills are truly exceptional. She creates a positive and encouraging environment that fosters growth and confidence in her students. She is an exceptional instructor.
Adult ballet at Desert Chamber Ballet
Desert Chamber Ballet 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 Desert Chamber 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.
