From the reviews

(THIS IS A FAKE NAME BY THE WAY) I love dancing here! I have danced here since I was 4! And now I am a few years older! Miss Kelly is the Nicest and Coolest person EVER, If anyone is thinking of signing up them or their child up for dance this would be the perfect place!

On our third year at Positions Dance Studio and couldn't be happier. We are treated like family. The studio has 3 difference rooms plus a cute shop with all the dance shoes & clothes you could need. There are so many different classes for all interests and levels. I highly recommend.

This is a wonderful dance studio. It is impeccably clean and every teacher and staff member I’ve encountered over my years at Positions has been even nicer than the last.

Adult ballet at Positions Dance Studio

Positions Dance Studio 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 Positions Dance Studio

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
