From the reviews
Elements Dance Space in Pasadena is unequivocally the top dance studio for students, young and old, to learn a wide array of different dance styles, whether your goal is to exercise for fitness, to perform artistically, or to compete regionally and nationally alongside some of the very best dancers around.
Not only is Elements Dance Space an incredible dance school with the best dance teachers in Los Angeles, but it is also a fantastic event space. My partner and I celebrated our wedding here earlier this year with around 250 people.
I love coming to Elements Dance Space for their fitness and aerial fitness classes. They have classes for young kids to adults. All the teachers and staff are so friendly and full of energy. Highly recommend this studio!
A very clean and immaculate studio and staff with outstanding, exceptional service.
Adult ballet at Elements Dance Space
Elements Dance Space 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 Elements Dance Space
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.
