From the reviews
We love the Neighborhood Ballet! The program is conveniently located, well organized, and the staff are experienced. My 5 year old daughter started in the creative movement class and is now in the pre ballet class.
My daughter Macy loves her preschool classes! Neighborhood Ballet is our first, second and third choice. Your dancer will learn so much in this dance community. Sign up for a trial today, you won’t regret it.
We love Neighborhood Ballet. My oldest daughter loves her teachers and the variety of dance styles she can try - ballet, jazz and hip hop so far. My 3 year old just started Creative Movement. She knows her plies already and shows them to me at home.
We recently celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Neighborhood Ballet, and it was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, the experience was whimsical and beautifully orchestrated.
Adult ballet at Neighborhood Ballet
Neighborhood 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 Neighborhood 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.
