From the reviews
Great dance studio, great teachers and they offer adult classes too! Could not recommend this studio more!
“Wonderful Experience at Move Nation Dance Academy” My 9-year-old has been attending ballet and hip hop at Move Nation Dance Academy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructors are incredibly talented, patient, and encouraging.
I took an Adult Beginners Ballet class as well as a Stretch & Strengthening class, and both were absolutely wonderful. The instructors & staff are very kind and welcoming. Adriana, Jennifer, and Bethany are fantastic. I highly recommend this studio to adults looking to get back into dance.
Wonderful! My 2.5 year old attended one of the princess ballet camps and had a ball! (Pun intended) Jennifer was such an excellent teacher, and even just 3 days later my little one was doing her first ballet positions! ❤️
Adult ballet at MoveNation Dance Academy
MoveNation Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 MoveNation Dance Academy
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.
