From the reviews

A+ ATTITUDE! Taking tap, modern, ballet & clogging classes really helped rehabilitate a broken ankle. Physical therapy is boring. Dancing is divine and the teachers at SS (all of them) were spectacular. Purchasing the unlimited monthly courses is the way to go for the value.

★★★★★ — Tamara, Mar 2025

SlapStep Studios is a nonjudgmental space to experience joyful movement! Dancers of all levels are welcome. Beginners are encouraged. Dancing here has helped to grow my confidence and keep me active. I have learned a lot about dance since I started coming to different classes at SlapStep.

★★★★★ — Jessi, Nov 2024

I have danced at SlapStep for 5 years and it is simply the best. I had never done any form of dance before clogging at SlapStep and now I have worked my way up to an advanced level. Anyone can dance, and the happy, supportive community at SlapStep is the perfect place to start!

★★★★★ — Katie, Feb 2024

Inviting and inclusive dance studio for adults! I love the space and the instruction for stretching and meditation was a perfect outlet during the noon hour.

Adult ballet at SlapStep Studios

SlapStep Studios 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 SlapStep Studios

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
