From the reviews
LOVE this studio. The instructors are all exceedingly qualified/experienced and are very effective in drawing out the dancer in every person looking for a healthy and artistic outlet. As a mom, the class meant so much more to me than an hour of instruction.
This studio works it's butt off to provide. It collaborates will great instructors, is accommodating and thoughtful, and goes out of it's way to make amazing things happen for the students of all ages to attend. Has great adult classes too!
We have loved our experience so far at the Mt. Pleasant School of Dance. Our four year old loves her class, teacher and classmates, and is learning SO MUCH!
We're so lucky to have MPSD here in our town. My daughter's instructors (ballet, hip hop) also teach dance at our local university, as they have excellent dance credentials and skills.
Adult ballet at Mt Pleasant School of Dance
Mt Pleasant School of 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 Mt Pleasant School of 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.
