From the reviews
South Shore Ballet Theatre offers first-class, pre-professional, classical ballet training. This school is for serious dancers. My daughter has been with SSBT for nine years and has already had some wonderful dance opportunities due to the training she has received at this school.
The many dance studios at the South Shore Ballet Theatre building are all beautiful. Last Saturday I attended a wonderful adult ballet class taught by Ms. Leslie Woodies. The class also included a great (piano) accompanest.
Beautiful studio. My daughter loves every minute she spends here. Everyone is always so kind and knowledgeable.
My daughter has been a student at SSBT for 6 years, and it is her home away from home. The ballet training is at a very high, pre professional level, and the students are challenged in a supportive and encouraging environment. The faculty and student body are like family!
Adult ballet at South Shore Ballet Theatre
South Shore Ballet Theatre 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 South Shore Ballet Theatre
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.
