From the reviews
Ellen has the expertise unlike any other ballet teacher out there. Her passion and knowledge that she pours into every class, every movement, and for every student is admirable and hard to find. The studio is clean, incredibly organized, and the class curriculum is carefully thought-out.
Best place ever! !! Miss Ellen is so professional and kind. You can feel her enthusiasm in ballet and teaching. Her years professional experience makes she notices any improper movement and uses the best explanation to makes students to understand. She even sets on the floor to show me how to move toes.
The best ballet school I've been to. I love the adult program so much. A few classes into it and I felt much more calm and even energy throughout my daily tasks as a full time parent and a professional. My body responds great to the technique and movement and has gotten strong, lean and curvier!

Adult ballet at Monmouth Academy of Ballet
Monmouth Academy 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 Monmouth Academy 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.
