From the reviews
Absolutely *LOVE* Sharon's School of Dance! I never got to take dance lessons as a child, so the opportunity to learn as an adult has been wonderful. About 15 years ago, I started with Hip-Hop, then added Tap, and eventually Jazz, even sometimes Lyrical (ballet isn't my cup of team but it's available).
If there were more stars I would highlight all of them. Sharon's School if Dance is definitely the best school to send your child.
Absolutely love being able to dance as an adult. And now my daughter has been dancing for 8 years and also loves it. Love this dance family!
Adult ballet at Sharon's School of Dance
Sharon's School of Dance 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 Sharon's School of Dance
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.
