From the reviews
Two of my daughters took many years of classes from Scarsdale Ballet Studio. One of them started when she was 4 years old and continued until 9. The younger one started when she was 2 and a half years old (she had been watching her sister's classes with awe for many months before that) and she never stopped, it has…
Rosemary, instructor of my adult ballet class is amazing. She provides all her students with ample individual attention and encouragement. Her class is with good vibes and dancers are very motivated. Scarsdale Ballet Studio is beautiful and well designed, taking classes here is really a enjoyment.
Our experience at Scaresdale Ballet Studio has been absolutely wonderful! The faculty is exceptional—professional, patient, and incredibly talented. Rosemary is my daughter's teacher and she's amazing! She created a supportive environment where my daughter feels encouraged to learn and grow in her ballet skills.

Adult ballet at Scarsdale Ballet Studio
Scarsdale Ballet Studio 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 Scarsdale Ballet Studio
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.
