From the reviews
I enjoy most classes at this studio, particularly the introductory and basic classes which are excellent for beginners. However, the Friday basic/beginner hip hop class seems misclassified - it moves extremely fast with minimal explanation of fundamentals and quickly advances to difficult moves.
I’ve been taking classes at PMT for a year and a half, and have had nothing short of a positive experience. Throughout this time, I have grown so much as a dancer and a person.
PMT offers a variety of different dance styles with high quality teachers. All of the instructors create a safe space for their students to explore and grow as artists. I've never been to a dance studio with staff AND students who are more caring.
PMT is a great space in a very accessible location. Have been taking classes for a while (both online and in person) and have enjoyed exploring different teachers and sometimes styles. They have really good packages which allow you to take more classes and the app is pretty convenient too!
Adult ballet at PMT House of Dance
PMT House of Dance 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 PMT House of Dance
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.
