From the reviews
An amazing school for advanced or beginner dancers. The teachers are wonderful and they really help you grow to become a better dancer! The students are very kind and welcoming making the environment a great space to be in.
Life long Learners ballet class was fabulous. I was rusty (and intimidated) but the students were all kind and the teacher, Anna, was supportive and firm. I will brush up on the beginners class for awhile then hope to be a regular... hopefully for decades to come
We love that they have summer drop in classes. They are currently going through a renovation that will be amazing for local dancers.
Excellent on many levels. As an organization, always striving to push towards diversifying the art and make it more accessible. The staff is highly attentive and friendly. The instructors are the very qualified, encouraging and supportive.
Your first ballet class at St. Paul 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.
