From the reviews
My daughter has been attending Rose Academy Ballet for about 2 years. Cindy at the front desk is absolutely amazing, friendly, great with my daughter and extremely helpful. While my daughter has only taken class with 3 different instructors Ms. Elizabeth is an amazing teacher and is extremely patient with the kids.
This place is a hidden gem in Queens for quality adult drop-in ballet classes. Typically, you need to go to Manhattan for drop-in ballet, so it was nice to find this in the neighborhood just a short walk from Forest Hills station. It’s a small class in a small studio, and the barres are humble, but the instructor, Ms.
My daughter has been attending Rose Academy for nearly 3 years and she absolutely loves it. It has a small school feel and the teachers are dedicated to teaching the students about positions, it's not just play (but they do make it fun!).
We've been here for 6 years and love the studio. The teachers are wonderful and give so much personal attention to every student. All levels are accepted and welcome!
Adult ballet at Rose Academy of Ballet
Rose Academy of Ballet 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 Rose Academy of 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.
