From the reviews
Elevè has been great for us! We needed evening classes for our little one because of our busy work schedules and Elevè has several options for beginners in the evenings even for adults!
I absolutely love watching this studio grow! The non judgement environment is such a breath of fresh air! THIS IS THE ONLY STUDIO IN THE AREA THST OFFERS ADULT CLASSES 5 DAYS A WEEK! There is something for everyone here and on top of that I’ve made so many friends through Eleve.
I absolutely love Eleve! All of their adult classes are perfect for beginners or those with dance experience. Ari and Madison meet you at your level to offer fun and challenging choreo for all levels! Heels, contemporary and jazz are all excellent classes, and it really is a community full of some amazing girls!
My granddaughters attend here and they love it. It’s a wonderful atmosphere. Miss Kayla the didector truly cares about the kids and the other staff is wonderful. If feels like a big family. The competition team has had an awesome year and my granddaughter has loved This year. Everyone should come check it out.
Adult ballet at Elevé Performing Arts
Elevé Performing Arts 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 Elevé 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.
