From the reviews
I have been taking adult ballet classes at Keystone Ballet Academy and couldn't be happier with my experience. Miss Emily is an outstanding instructor! Her passion for ballet is contagious, and she has a wonderful way of making every student feel valued and capable, regardless of their skill level.
My daughter and I absolutely love Mrs. Emily and Mrs. Brittany. They are fantastic with all the kids. They make sure the kids the individual instructions they need in an uplifting manner.
KBA the center point of dance , I don’t think there could have been a better name for this studio, it truly is the center of dance around 100 miles maybe even more , the classes are so meticulous but easy to understand , mrs.
There so many great things to say about KBA! Miss Emily and Miss Britney do an amazing job of creating a welcoming and accepting environment for every single student. They prioritize proper technique and a solid foundation so students are able to improve and have fun!
Adult ballet at Keystone Ballet Academy
Keystone Ballet Academy 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 Keystone Ballet Academy
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.
