From the reviews
I am so happy I found Ahlers Dance upon my move to Flagstaff earlier this year. Cynthia's ballet classes have provided me with a wonderful dance community and gave me the chance to practice dance again in an organized environment.
Cynthia is a wonderful dance teacher! She is so kind and gives excellent classes. It has been so wonderful joining this community with other adults who love to dance! I’ve been so grateful for the chance to perform as a part of Ahlers Dance as well. Class with Cynthia always makes my day better!
Cynthia is a fantastic instructor. Her classes are rigorous while still being welcoming to all levels and ages. Every dancer is given helpful feedback and support, and dancers are encouraged to build positive connections with each other. I’m grateful for the great classes and community that Ahlers Dance provides.
Ahlers Dance is wonderful! They have been supporting, creating, performing dance in Flagstaff for years. I've benefited from the adult classes and have enjoyed seeing the younger dancers grow up with Ahlers Dance - an amazing and beautiful resource for Flagstaff!
Adult ballet at Dewell Dance
Dewell 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 Dewell 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.
