From the reviews
I joined NaNa Ballet last year for the Chinese classical dance class. To me , dancing is not just an exercise, it is an expression. I believe only professional teacher can bring that to you. NaNa has years of professional training and performance experience.
best ballet class i had in austin. I really love ballet and has been practicing, starting as an adult, for about 6 yrs now.The class level was properly set. Nana is very detail oriented and gave me great corrections to help me improve and i feel i gained much better control of my body.
I’m not usually someone who writes reviews, but this studio absolutely deserves one. While I wasn’t completely new to dance, ballet was a new experience for me. Taking classes with Nana has been such a positive experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the art form.
I came to Nana Ballet as an adult beginner, with no prior childhood ballet experience. Finding this studio and its incredible teacher Ms. Nana Yang has been nothing short of transformative.
Adult ballet at Nana Ballet
Nana 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 Nana 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.
