From the reviews
Idaho Falls School of Ballet is outstanding. My friends daughter goes there & I have been to many of the performances. I am writing this review because I have been so impressed with what I have seen & heard about this school.
I have a young daughter interested in starting ballet. After "shopping around" I decided to go check out the Idaho Falls School of Ballet 12 Days of Christmas program. I had already seen the Nutcracker production the other ballet school did, and it was mediocre, to say the least, as well as the dancing.
It's always a pleasure to help out with performances the few times I have. And of course it's a pleasure to see how wonderfully they turn out every time! Deborah Bean is a great instructor and a great person, who always has her dancers' best interests at heart.
What a wonderful studio with such a positive atmosphere for dancers to learn the art of ballet! The productions take my breath away! Stunning dancing, amazing choreography and beautiful music! I highly recommend Idaho Falls School of Ballet!
Adult ballet at Idaho Falls School of Ballet
Idaho Falls School of 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 Idaho Falls School of 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.
