From the reviews

My daughter went here in the 80's and my grand daughter goes now. It only got better.

★★★★★ — James, Apr 2015

Landmark ballet center for classes in Long Beach. Has been operating out of the same location for at least three generations. They have a Peet's coffee right next door that is part of the academy with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Your first ballet class at Long Beach Ballet

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.
