From the reviews

Our daughter has learned so much in a very short time. Even better, she looks forward to every Saturday morning and has so much fun. We are really looking forward to the recital on June 1!!! Thank you, ladies 💕

★★★★★ — Michelle, May 2024

We have enjoyed being a part of Ballet Gloria for the last 4 years. Our daughter has grown in skill, character, and love for dance. As a mother I want to see her enjoy dance but have modesty and with Ballet Gloria she has both. The teachers are professional, genuine, and talented to say the least.

★★★★★ — Chelsea, Mar 2020

My daughter takes teen ballet, ballet III and contemporary. She loves the teachers in all of her classes and the small class sizes make her learning very personalized. The studio’s communication with parents is also excellent.

Adult ballet at Inspired Movement Dance Studio

Inspired Movement Dance 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 Inspired Movement Dance 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.

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.
