From the reviews
Royale Ballet is a wonderful learning environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels. The director, Angela Sham is incredibly professional and accommodating to ALL families. She regularly brings in guests instructors of all dance formats. Our daughter danced with Royale Ballet for 15 years.
I cannot say enough great things about Royale Ballet! Angela, Hailey, and staff are truly the kindest people to know. They live and breath dance. The relationships and bonds made between both students and teachers is an extension of family.
Miss Angela and all of the other teachers at Royale Ballet Dance Academy are unparalleled in their skill level and dedication. They teach with a standard of excellence in a very nurturing and caring way.
As a ballet dancer with over 20 years of experience, I have been searching for a school that offers both professionalism and a fun, engaging environment for my daughters. Royale Ballet has exceeded all expectations.
Adult ballet at Royale Ballet Dance Academy
Royale Ballet Dance Academy 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 Royale Ballet Dance Academy
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.
