From the reviews

I am 59 years old and have taken 12 Barre classes at Lighthouse Dance. In this relatively short period of time my balance has markedly improved and I have begun to see positive changes in the shape of my body. As my muscles strength slowly improves, my joint pain has been decreasing and my over all mobility improves.

★★★★★ — B., Oct 2016

LightHouse Dance is an amazing place! From the teachers to the students to the fireplace in the lobby, this place is truly welcoming! I love all my teachers and fellow classmates! I also love teaching here!

★★★★★ — Emmy, Jan 2017

This place blesses our entire family. My daughter (age 5) is able to have positive, modest, and humble female role models in her life! She adores each dance teacher! And I (the mom) get blessed by fitness classes taught with excellence in a welcoming environment.

★★★★★ — Megan, Dec 2016

Both of my children take dance classes here. The teachers are amazing! All of them. We are really impressed! My wife and I look forward to recitals every year. It's a special treat. We are lucky that we are only a few minutes away but we know people travel up to 30 minutes to have their kids in this dance school.

Adult ballet at Lighthouse Dance

Lighthouse Dance 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 Lighthouse Dance

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.
