From the reviews
AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. This studio is the BEST. Don’t go anywhere else. My daughters have been coming here since they were each three years old and absolutely love it. My girls thrive in the upbeat, fun studio environment while learning grace, discipline, and athleticism.
I've been a student here off and on for about a year and have very much enjoyed my classes. It's been a lot of fun to grow and improve. My daughter is now enrolled in the preschool class and she comes home happy every time. I love that there are opportunities for all students to perform in shows, if they want to.
This has a great drop in adult class for beginners. The instructors are very kind and have a great class to help anyone get started in the world of ballet. I would definitely recommend this as a place to go check out if you're interested in learning ballet
An awesome place for adults to learn… I have never seen such a comprehensive program at any studio in the several cities I’ve taken ballet. You will come once and not be able to stop coming! So glad I found this studio. 🩰
Adult ballet at SLC Ballet
SLC Ballet 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 SLC Ballet
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.
