From the reviews
Right now I am currently apart of the Professional Division at Boston Ballet School. No words can explain how grateful I am to have been apart of the St. Augustine Ballet community. If it weren’t for Mr. Luis and the many other teachers over the past 8 years I’ve been here, then I wouldn’t be where I am now.
Our daughter has danced here for almost three years now, and they have been her best years of dance so far. She has always enjoyed ballet, but at St. Augustine Ballet, she has thrived like never before. From her first day at the studio, Mr.
I took my first ballet class at age 15, on a whim, with no prior experience— and yet it was one of the most memorable moments in my dance journey. It didn't matter if you thought you were "too old" to start— in fact there are adults who take recreational level classes and love this studio. The director Mr.
I started ballet at 11 and had hardly any experience. SAB has helped me get to the Conservatory program and en pointe in only a year. The environment is wonderful and I highly recommend this studio.
Adult ballet at Saint Augustine Ballet
Saint Augustine Ballet runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Saint Augustine 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.
