From the reviews

We absolutely LOVE Kat's Artist Tree!! My children take piano with Ms. Abbi and drum lessons with Mr. Filip, and my daughter has private lessons and ballet classes with Ms. Bonnie and Ms. Alicen. They've taken classes and other camps with the other teachers here and they've always been top notch.

★★★★★ — Crista, Jun 2025

I first found Kat’s Artist Tree when I was searching for music teachers from across the globe. We were living in South Korea and I was working to find competent, quality instruction for my daughter in music and dance.

★★★★★ — Tracy, Mar 2019

The teachers are so great, professional and really care about their students. My daughter loved her voice and piano teacher. She had fun and also felt challenged. The front desk person, Dalton is very helpful, patient and professional.

★★★★★ — Dear, Nov 2020

Kats Artist Tree is one of the greatest blessings in life that I have ever experienced. I have been a student here for 6 years now and this place has helped me tremendously. The teachers here are highly trained professionals and the staff are just simply amazing.

Adult ballet at Kat’s Artist Tree

Kat’s Artist Tree 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 Kat’s Artist Tree

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.
