From the reviews
Hello! I am currently a student at Ponte Vedra Ballet and started dancing here about one year ago. I found out about the place through their summer intensive program and decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved it.
Since leaving New Jersey and moving to Florida last year, we could not be happier with the amazing quality of the instruction, the knowledge and ability of the instructors and the love and comraderie fostered between the girls in class and outside of Ponte Vedra Ballet!
I have taught ballet at numerous schools including the Atlanta Ballet and Charlotte Ballet. I have had the privilege of teaching for Ms. Dawn at Ponte Vedra Ballet and can say that it was one of the best teaching experiences I have had. Ms. Dawn creates an incredible atmosphere for her students and teachers.
Miss Dawn is a true professional who is the perfect balance of grace and strength! We came to Ponte Vedra Ballet seeking help with ballet, pointe, jazz, modern and contemporary technique.
Adult ballet at Ponte Vedra Ballet & Dance Company / FUSION Performing Arts Academy
Ponte Vedra Ballet & Dance Company / FUSION Performing Arts Academy 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 Ponte Vedra Ballet & Dance Company / FUSION Performing Arts Academy
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.
