From the reviews
I have been taking the Adult Ballet class at Saltmarsh Dance of Jacksonville for almost 2 years. I never danced as a child, but I find this studio a safe environment for me to learn and I have been improving a lot ever since I joined, as well as gaining strength and flexibility.
Saltmarsh Dance is a wonderful place to dance whether it is your first time or you have previous dance experience. I joined the adult ballet classes over a year ago and enjoy the camaraderie. Taking ballet with Mrs. Saltmarsh is a joy!
Suzanne Saltmarsh is passionate about what she does. She's a wonderful teacher with a mountain of experience teaching and performing around the country. The new studio is spacious, tastefully appointed, and well situated in the middle of San Marco.
As of August 1st the new location of the studio is pleasantly placed in between grape and grain and maple street. Perfect place for parents as lots of places to park, and while student is dancing can go to coffee shops or grab a bite at near by restaurants.
Adult ballet at Saltmarsh Dance of Jacksonville
Saltmarsh Dance of Jacksonville 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 Saltmarsh Dance of Jacksonville
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.
