From the reviews

If your looking for a amazing dance studio I highly recommend Intrepid Dance Studio. Watching my daughter this past year has been amazing. She has not only grown as a dancer but her confidence has grown as well. Melissa and Whitney has helped build upon her strengths and weakness.

★★★★★ — Kenya, Jun 2019

We have had the pleasure of working with Melissa and capturing video at the Intrepid recitals since the studio opened. Not only is Melissa one of the most organized business owners I have met, it is clear to see she takes so much pride in the success of her students.

We couldn’t ask for a better dance studio! My daughter has danced there since she was 3years old and absolutely loves it. She gets so excited every week to go to dance class. Melissa and all the other teachers are so welcoming and caring for all their students/dancers.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Apr 2023

Wanted to make a shout out to Miss Melissa and Miss Whitney on there wonderful dance studio. This is there first year of the studio, but you can tell they know there what they are doing. My daughter is only 3 years old, but when they are teaching them they are so kind and loving towards her.

Adult ballet at Intrepid Dance Company

Intrepid Dance Company 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 Intrepid Dance Company

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.
