From the reviews
3/28/15 We love love loved Thursday night's performance at Walnut Creek's Lesher Center, celebrating the 21st anniversary of the Diablo Ballet. A former ballerina introduced the ballet's manager/creator, as well as a woman who read a note from Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, and a couple other people responsible for…
As always, the production absolutely delighted us. The choreography was creative and the dancers lived up to the challenge!
Great place to get excited about dancing again. The adult ballet classes are fantastic and very affordable.
Your first ballet class at Diablo 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.
