From the reviews
I came back to Irish dance about six months ago after taking a three-year break. Legacy School of Irish Dance is so amazing in letting me jump in right in the middle of the year. They are so flexible in working with my schedule, coming to this dance school is like coming to a brand new family.
If you are an adult and want to learn Irish dance this is the place for you! As a beginner adult dancer I didn't really want to start a class with a bunch of kids who were already way better than I was but I knew I wanted to learn Irish dance, so I was glad when I saw Legacy had adult classes.
My daughter has been dancing with Legacy for over 10 years. We fell in love with the studio because not only do they have great teachers but the atmosphere is encouraging and welcoming for every age, size, shape and ability.
Legacy Dance is superb! My two daughters take ballet lessons and I couldn’t be happier with the results of this class. They come home each week eager to show me new steps or techniques they are learning.
Adult ballet at Legacy School of Dance and Utah Irish Dance Company
Legacy School of Dance and Utah Irish 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 Legacy School of Dance and Utah Irish 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.
