From the reviews

This studio is unlike all of the others! As a lifelong dancer, my objective when enrolling my young child was to find an environment that was enriching, kind and professional. Meg at Nutmegs runs a beautiful business and I have nothing but compliments to say.

★★★★★ — Meghan, May 2024

Such a warm and welcoming community of dance, yoga, pilates and more! Nutmeg has always been the most kind and radiant person. I’ve been with the studio since my first dance class at age 2 all the way to my senior year + back again for adult classes after graduating!

★★★★★ — Erica, Mar 2025

Best Dance studio! All four of my children danced there, two of them boys! Family oriented, great role models in teachers and the older dancers. End of the year dance recital is always fabulous!!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Mar 2025

Nutmegs is such an amazing and warm environment. I joined in my junior year of high school, and was welcomed in with open arms. The community there is so incredible and kind, and I have made so many life long friends there. The teachers are all very encouraging and I can’t recommend the studio enough!!!

Adult ballet at Nutmeg’s Dance & Theatre Co.

Nutmeg’s Dance & Theatre Co. 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 Nutmeg’s Dance & Theatre Co.

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
