From the reviews

I started ballet at age thirteen at Project Ballet, a late-start for a dancer. However, the staff is devoted to helping each student reach her fullest potential in her time spent training.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Feb 2018

My daughter has danced here and attended school here for the last 2 years and she loves every aspect. The smaller/intimate classroom settings make her feel confident & secure and the staff across the board couldn't be more devoted and caring. She has grown tremendously here.

Your first ballet class at Project Ballet

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.
