From the reviews
Out of all the dance studios I have been to around the world, this studio was by far, my favourite. The place is homey, and all my dance instructors(Alisa, Seth, Joseph) were extremely nice, kind-hearted, and had a passion for dance and teaching.
Wonderful place. Very friendly and accomodating. Scholarships offered for any child in need. They work with me, so my son can take all the classes he'd like to. They truly believe dance education should be accessible to every child.
The adult program has high quality classes with engaged and educated instructors that truly teach to the skills of the class members. Classes are not only fun, but provide true Dance education. At the same time, classes are laid back and welcoming to all levels and abilities.
I got to try the aerial silks class that focused on strengthening and it was very nice! It's clear that most of the students are regulars but they made me feel welcome. Got a good workout in and my arms and abs were sore after.
Adult ballet at Hunter Dance Center
Hunter Dance Center 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 Hunter Dance Center
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.
