From the reviews
My daughter loves it at ECB!! The performance opportunities are wonderful and her ballet technique has grown exponentially since she started taking ballet there. She goes there for year round classes, including attending their summer intensive and she basically never wants to leave.
I brought my daughter here after realizing her old dance studio was beyond sub-par. Since enrolling last year, my dancer has gained incredible strength and enhanced her natural abilities. She went from hating to go to class to being overjoyed to go. It’s amazing what a real ballet studio can do for a dancer!
Evergreen City ballet represents the best of the best among arts organizations. My daughter has trained at ECB since 2016. Since the start of the pandemic, they have done everything to keep students and staff safe, yet also offer as many in person training opportunities as possible.
Performance opportunities! .... Professional training!..... Dancers support each other!..... 20 years.... two daughters...... Evergreen City Ballet has been their second home.
Adult ballet at Evergreen City Ballet
Evergreen City 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 Evergreen City 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.
