From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing with Lifehouse for over 5 years now, and we absolutely love it. I really wanted a studio that focused more on performances than competitions, so this was a perfect fit for us.
I'm not one to write reviews, but I have to for this place. I grew up dancing and saw how dance culture could be positive or negative depending on the studio and teachers. So we studio hopped for years looking for the right culture and technique for our daughter who begged to dance.
I love Lifehouse. I go to the Herriman studio and just let me tell you! Lifehouse is the best decision I have made. I started dancing later than most, at 11 years old in 2020. I became a company member a year later and I am so glad I decided to stay.
We love Lifehouse. My daughter was originally at a different dance studio and tried musical theatre at Lifehouse for a year. She had a wonderful experience and after seeing a few of the Lifehouse performances we knew switching to dance at Lifehouse would be a great choice.
Adult ballet at Lifehouse Performing Arts Academy
Lifehouse Performing Arts 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 Lifehouse Performing Arts 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.
