From the reviews

I can't believe that I haven't written a review yet! My son has been dancing with Exceleration Studios for over two years now and there's no sign of him stopping! Exceleration Studios is his home away from home.

★★★★★ — Kdz, Aug 2023

My teenaged son danced at Exceleration for 5+ years! He has incredible memories and enjoyed his entire dance experience! Now, my 4 year old daughter is here to experience the amazing dance classes offered, the incredible teachers and overall the A+ studio! Very professional staff, and amazing team!

★★★★★ — E, Aug 2023

I had a fantastic experience with Exceleration Studios! My journey with them began when I enrolled my 7-year-old daughter in a trial hip hop class, and she absolutely loved it. The teacher's energy and fun approach were a hit with her.

★★★★★ — Uday, Sep 2023

Our daughter loves Exceleration Studios, and so do we! Our son does the summer camps and wants to start taking classes! He sees how much our daughter loves it, and he feels a part of the Exceleration family too...the studio is warm and inviting. The level of professionalism is awesome.

Adult ballet at Exceleration Studios

Exceleration Studios 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 Exceleration Studios

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
