From the reviews
IBT is the best pre-professional ballet company around. Not only does the director teach quality ballet, he also instills core values that are essential in everyday life. Their adult classes are fun as well, with low pressure, just encouragement. I highly recommend this company for dancers of any age.
I started dancing here as a complete beginner at age 17 and Ray has helped me catch up already in just 4 & 1/2 years. He and the other teachers are so helpful and informative. This is an amazing place to learn ballet and modern, and there are many performance opportunities.
I cannot say enough how much I am impressed by and grateful to IBT. It has the most top notch artists and best people. It is clear that the director’s vision is to provide a life long experience, and clearly Mr. Raymon Mason has succeeded in that mission.
After trying other Ballet schools in town we found Imagine Ballet Theatre. Imagine Ballet is way above the rest in instruction & technique as well as the expectations of the dancers. If you want the best send your kids to Imagine Ballet. Also the quality of the productions they do is top notch.
Adult ballet at Imagine Ballet Theatre
Imagine Ballet Theatre 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 Imagine Ballet Theatre
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.
