From the reviews
Finding this studio was the best thing that could have happened! I am a professional dancer and have found it difficult to find many dance studios in New Jersey that offer adult classes beyond an absolute beginner level. HeArt in Motion offers professional level adult ballet classes 7 days a week. WOW! What a GEM!
Lynn Needle is the best Pilates Teacher ever- her approach and methods are fantastic and she is terrific for all skill levels. I first noticed I felt better and a short time thereafter, people were asking what I had been doing to look so much better. I always feel better after a Lynn class.
I have been taking Adult Ballet here for years. I love Olivia's class on Wednesdays and Fridays - she is creative with how to keep us moving in Zoom classes. Norma's class on Mondays is always challenging and fun - with something new and quick to keep you on your toes.
Have been taking Adult Tap with Laura for awhile now, both in studio and on Zoom. She is a terrific teacher and the classes are as much fun at home as in person. Love this studio, Laura and Nikki. It is a great experience!
Adult ballet at HeART in Motion Studio
HeART in Motion Studio 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 HeART in Motion Studio
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.
