From the reviews
Ivy loves going to dance class! She gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot! She loves her dance team, Ms. Megan and Ms. Kim! I am so happy they decided to start a class for special needs! And we are very excited for the dance recital this year!!!!!
I danced at Pat Brown’s from 7th grade through 12th and spent 6 days a week there where I made some of the best friendships of my life, and learned valuable lessons about team work, respect, personal perseverance, love, art, emotion, and many other things.
If I could leave 10 stars I would. I have been dancing at Pat Brown School of Dancing for 13 years, and I cannot thank my studio family enough for all that they have taught me.
Meghan was part of the typical Hip Hop dance class for 12 years before she graduated high school. There was never a second thought about her having Down Syndrome or hearing impared, Kim Turner treated her with the same compassion as her other students... just getting more hugs!
Adult ballet at Pat Brown School of Dancing
Pat Brown School of Dancing 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 Pat Brown School of Dancing
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.
