The programs they offer
From the reviews
Hands down, the Gold Standard for dance instruction in Fort Worth since the 1960's. Home of Ballet Concerto, Inc.
My sister and I took lessons at Magi Dean's. We took Ballet during the year and Modern Dance during summer session. I started in 3rd all the way through highschool. My sister started in 1st all the way through highschool. We both had a wonderful experience and time.
I found this ballet school last year when I moved to Fort Worth and fell in love with it. My mom calls it a hidden gem. Rose is a wonderful teacher that is encouraging, attentive to students, and comes around making corrections.
Adult ballet at Margo Dean School of Ballet
Margo Dean School of Ballet 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 Margo Dean 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.
