From the reviews
This is the second full year that my daughter has participated in the competitive company at PDE. She values the friendships she has made and as grown tremendously as a dancer and individual. We transferred at a challenging time for her and she was welcomed into the group of dancers immediately.
My daughter absolutely LOVED the trial class, we signed up before we left that day! She can’t wait to go back next week! She learned a lot in just one class, I was very impressed with the teachers. They were patient and helpful! Definitely recommend!
My daughter loved her first class! The dance studio gave fantastic tips for parents as well. The instructor and staff were all very kind, supportive, and efficient. Easy location to find, just needs more parking spots. All together great experience!
Very welcoming dance studio my daughter loved them 1st session and they all are she can talk about from the very nice staff and teachers to the amazing dancers. 10 out of 10 i definitely recommend!!!!!
Adult ballet at Pro Dance Elite Studios
Pro Dance Elite Studios 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 Pro Dance Elite Studios
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.
