From the reviews
rockville civic ballet company, and the classes here at rockcrest, are so awesome. inclusive of all ages and skill levels, teachers very attentive to special needs of individual students
Correct name for location is rockcrest park and community center. Ballet is located in center. Nice walk/bike trail and stream down to Twinbrook community center.
Growing up 63 years ago across the street from this building formerly operated by the City of Rockville Recreation Department as The Rockcrest Field House, I took ballet lessons from Mrs. Hepner as a six year old. Loved it.
This little building holds ballet classes for adults and children, as well as rehearsals for the Rockville Civic Ballet. The City of Rockville Recreation Department runs the classes offered here. The instructors are good and the community welcoming.
Your first ballet class at Rockcrest Ballet Center
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.
