From the reviews
Ballet classes at Peninsula Ballet Center are the highlight of my week! I've been a student of Ms. Milou for three years, and I can't express how grateful I am to have a fantastic local studio that offers adult ballet classes.
Peninsula Ballet Center is a hidden gem! I have been taking regular ballet class from Miss Milou Ivanovsky for one and a half year now. I feel that my technique and musicality have improved drastically thanks to Miss Milou's effective coaching with unrelenting patience.
I have been dancing here for years the teacher Ms. Milou Ivanovsky is so kind and an incredible dancer. If you choose to sign up for any of her shows you are guaranteed a spot. She has classes for all ages and the prices aren't outrageous it's all based on how many classes you attend and sign up for.
Great place to learn ballet as a beginner. Adult beginner classes are Monday's at 630 upstairs in the studio.
Adult ballet at Peninsula Ballet Center & Ballet Fantasque
Peninsula Ballet Center & Ballet Fantasque runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Peninsula Ballet Center & Ballet Fantasque
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.
