From the reviews
We’ve been going to the studio since day one and we couldn’t be happier with the decision we made. All the instructors are super friendly and good with children. They are very approachable and my daughter who just turned 7 loves the ballet lesson every week! The instructors are professional and well trained, too.

My two daughters and I have been attending Edgewater Performing arts for a few years now. I have to say I am very glad I chose this ballet school. All of the teachers and staff share an enthusiasm for ballet and it truly shows in their attention to detail, love of dance, and dedication to teaching.

All of teachers conduct themselves professionally, are passionate and inspiring, and care about their students .
Adult ballet at Edgewater Performing Arts
Edgewater Performing Arts 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 Edgewater Performing Arts
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.
