From the reviews
I absolutely love EBA their instructors are amazing and they have all different age groups too! I will be there for a long time.
I was gifted two tickets to the Peter Pan Ballet and bought 5 more so friends could come along. We came ready for a fun night out and ended up thoroughly enjoying the Ballet! The dancing, leaping, acting and the amazing score played by the orchestra that accompanied was amazing!
Wow! The Development Director there, Meagan, gave me and a few colleagues a behind the scenes tour of the studio--just wow!! A beautiful space, and I got to meet one of the dancers, Nina, who explained their training routine and demands of the profession. It was so cool!
Eugene Ballet Academy offers excellent classical and modern ballet training to students and adults alike. All four of our children have been enrolled in ballet and each had excelled tremendously under EBA's instruction.
Adult ballet at Eugene Ballet
Eugene Ballet 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 Eugene 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.
