From the reviews

My daughter came to her love of dance late. She didn't start really dancing until she was 12. She believed she wanted the "competition" dance, and we tried it for a few years. Dozens of costume fees, recital costumes, competition fees, private lesson fees, class fees ... It makes me sweat thinking about it!

I don’t know much about their past, but this group is on fire! The dancers move beautifully! They move with Grace & poise! I also appreciate the humor they put onto their productions! Love the new artistic director!! Kevin Jenkins has made so many positive changes.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Feb 2026

I saw their Christmas show! It was so refreshingly cute and funny! The dancers were amazing as well! Loving this new director!

★★★★★ — Barbara, Feb 2026

I've been dancing here for about 8 years, and it's been great. Great classes, great teachers, great training, grate cheese.

Your first ballet class at Lexington Ballet 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.
