From the reviews

I love MG Studio our teachers Maria and Luis are so professional and patient with every single student. No matter your age or level. Everyone feels welcomed and supported. Made me fall in love more with ballet thanks to them.

★★★★★ — Lucia, Jul 2025

I cannot recommend this ballet school enough. It has truly changed my life for the better. The instructors, Maria and Luis, are not only professional ballet dancers, but also incredibly dedicated and thorough teachers.

★★★★★ — Shalom, Jul 2025

Absolutely love this ballet studio! The environment is incredibly supportive and welcoming! I feel encouraged and empowered every time I walk through the doors. It’s been the perfect place to restart my ballet journey, and it’s done wonders for both my physical and mental health.

★★★★★ — Maria, Aug 2025

I love coming to this studio! I always have a great time in their barre and ballet classes. I took the absolute beginners ballet course first and became enamored with the studio. I now come regularly for both barre and ballet and I've never been happier.

Adult ballet at MG Ballet and Fitness

MG Ballet and Fitness 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 MG Ballet and Fitness

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.
