From the reviews
My daugter grew up in this school from 4years old to 17! The school is her second home and the countless experiences, both difficult and exhilarating, really helped shape her into the strong mature young lady she is today! The bond between the girls of all ages is something special!
I take adult ballet on Tuesday evenings at the Verona Ballet School, with Artistic Director Alissa Kossov, and I have a wonderful time. The Russian style class is simple enough for anyone to try it, with adequate level of difficulty, and she challenges us do as best as possible.
Get ready to tone it up Adults! You won’t even know how certain areas got sore for three days! Good Adult class for all levels of adults. Bring water and a little sweat towel. After a couple classes you really see the muscles change and be strong & look good.
I would 100% recommend this place. My daughter have learned so much and she love her Ballet classes.
Adult ballet at School of Classical Ballet in Verona, NJ
School of Classical Ballet in Verona, NJ 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 School of Classical Ballet in Verona, NJ
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.
