From the reviews

My daughter started her dance class with Ms Kelly in2016. It has been about one year. We are extraordinarily impressed by her passion for teaching these little kids (from 3 year old), her patience and the desire for helping them knowing the beauty of the ballet, and her hard work to creat a better class and…

★★★★★ — Renee, Nov 2017

I've dreamed of being a ballet dancer as long as i can remember. I'm so thankful I found Golden Ballet Theater because Kelly and Vera are helping that dream come true. I've learned soooo much in just 2 months!

★★★★★ — Kris, Mar 2023

After watching our daughter dance and thrive in ballet for almost 2 years at this dance school (she is now 7), we committed to taking our 4 year old here as well. They both enjoy it so much. The teachers are great instructors and great dancers. They're professional and so nice and patient with the kids.

★★★★★ — Ruslan, Nov 2024

Golden Ballet Theatre has quickly become my happy place! The staff are welcoming and educated, and make sure that anyone can fell good dancing! GBTs adult ballet classes are the most fun and inclusive classes I have taken in my 15 years of dance education.

Adult ballet at Golden Ballet Theater, with Mountain Views

Golden Ballet Theater, with Mountain Views 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 Golden Ballet Theater, with Mountain Views

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.
