From the reviews
Northern Nevada Ballet Academy (NNBA) is very accommodating and welcomes students with varying degrees of skill level and interests. We met Kris at a different school and heard a lot of amazing feedback about him as an instructor and mentor.
To say something wonderful about this place would be an understatement, all the teachers are so wonderful, polite, respectful but above all the great artistic ability they have is indescribable, at the same time they take care of the well-being of the children and teach them the true love for ballet, discipline,…
Everything about this dance studio is exceptional…the instructors, the facility, the variety of classes offered, the productions, the community involvement,… There are multiple styles of dance offered. The teachers bring next level talent and professionalism to class. The 4 studio rooms are absolutely beautiful.
I've been attending the adult ballet classes and here's what I appreciate: -they're accessible at all levels, the instructors are good at reading the room, making things easier or more challenging. -the instructors themselves. Being taught by such a dynamic and experienced team is a privilege.
Adult ballet at Northern Nevada Ballet Academy
Northern Nevada Ballet Academy 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 Northern Nevada Ballet 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.
