From the reviews
Louis Nunnery was a tough Ballet Teacher and Exercise Ballet for older ladies, but he was a wonderful human being, a good person, and he is missed.
This is the longest running Ballet School in the area. Mr.Nunnery left the business to the women who run it now. They try to channel his love for the art of this traditional dance style by cherishing the students and cultivating a passion for ballet in the boys and girls that have chosen to dance here. Mr.
Louis Nunnery School of Ballet has been the best space for our daughter. It's given her a place to be herself, explore creatively, and gain strength not only physically, but also mentally. Ballet has opened up such a confidence in her, and this space is exactly where she belongs.
The Louis Nunnery School of Ballet is more than just a place for my daughter, who is 18, and me, who is 54, to learn classical ballet techniques and perform together; it genuinely feels like a second home. The school offers a loving and nurturing environment that enables everyone, from ages 4 to 82, to grow and thrive.
Your first ballet class at Louis Nunnery School of 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.
