From the reviews
The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The instructors are amazing and seem to encourage their students progress.

We went to the ballet's Fall Fair! It was a nice event and we didn't know what to expect. We watched the students dance, our kiddos got to play games and do a craft. We shopped the vendors, the taco truck was very good as well. We were anle to make a donation to tbe school. Before yesterday we knew nothing about it!
Highly recommend! Amazing talent and the Sofia is a wonderful venue. Loved the Chrysalis performance just fabulous.

Adult ballet at Sacramento Ballet
Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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.
