From the reviews
Our daughter has been going here since she was 4yo and she is now 12yo. We love this place and over the years my daughter feels at home here. The teachers are wonderful!
We were so lucky to find a studio with values we align with. Being family owned, they understand that your family time is important and don’t go over the top with rehearsals, recitals, competitions, etc. The instructors care deeply about all the kids. They motivate them and teach them well. We love Premier!
My stepdaughter has danced here for a few years now and she has exposure to a lot of teachers and great training. Her favorite class is hip hop.
My daughter has been dancing with Premier for several years now, and each year I am always impressed with not only her improvements in technique, but with all of the dancers over the years. I also truly enjoy the adult classes!! The dance family at premier is awesome!
Adult ballet at Premier School of Dance
Premier School of Dance 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 Premier School 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.
