From the reviews
Both of my girls, 5 and 11, have been doing ballet and hip hop classes at this studio. We love it! The teacher/owner is amazing. She makes every child feel special. She loves her community and does many things to support that. She is very aware of working parents schedules and has many options to choose from.
Melissa has been amazing with my daughter. She loves ballet and can't wait to go to class. She cares about all the children getting them involved at a level they are comfortable.
Great environment. Melissa is an amazing teacher and gives her whole heart to her students. I'm glad to be apart of such a wonderful studio family.
Mel is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever been to and Northern Colorado is lucky to have her and all her knowledge!
Adult ballet at On Pointe Dance & Movement
On Pointe Dance & Movement 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 On Pointe Dance & Movement
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.
