From the reviews
I love The Art of Dance and performance the school offers amazing instructors. I've been in the school for three years and learned muscle training, posture , ballet dance with hip hop jazz dancing and friends that have the the same goals.
I love learning and thriving with the teachers there. I also love that you can express yourself without worrying about finding friends. The teachers there are so AMAZING. I recommend this studio for everyone!!!!!
My daughter has attended the school of Nevada Ballet Theatre for 6 years. I originally selected NBT because I wanted to find a school that provides and emphasis on technique, building nerve pathways with slow progressions, to create a foundation for any form of movement that she should choose to use in her life.
WOW Wow wow...the excellent performance, the spirit, the humor, the February 01, 2025 at the Smith...HEALED ME...in so many ways. YOUR COMPANY IS THE PEAK OF MY DANCE WORLD ON THIS EARTH, HERE AND NOW. --i laughed out loud several times...(and I wondered why I heard no one else, laughing) --I gasped several times...
Adult ballet at Nevada Ballet Theatre
Nevada Ballet Theatre 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 Nevada Ballet Theatre
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.
