From the reviews
Our daughter has danced with Movement on Main for over 5 years and she keeps wanting to come back. We have been impressed with how professional and well organized the studio is run. Their American Ballet Theatre curriculum is excellent and keeps our daughter motivated and improving.
Great place! Everyone is kind! We haven’t been there for long but so far my child loves it. The staff are helpful and professional. It’s very new to us so we may have many questions and not aware of everything like others but the staff are great with answering me and being patient! Which we appreciate.
My daughter absolutely LOVES this place. She has been taking ballet here for 7 years almost and wouldn’t second guess her choice! The teachers are so helpful and kind. It is super clean. They are so professional too. I’m so proud of how far my daughter has come in ballet and I enjoy watching her have fun!!!
My daughter was so excited to start dance classes. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They made sure she felt completely included and welcomed and even gave her a dance uniform to where that day until we were able to get hers. And we even got a free trial class to make sure my daughter was going to like it.
Adult ballet at Movement on Main Center for Dance
Movement on Main Center for Dance 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 Movement on Main Center for Dance
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.
