From the reviews
We have been at the studio for almost ten years now and love it. Three of my children take classes here and the teachers are wonderful. The prices are incredibly affordable and recital fees are kept to a minimum. I cannot recommend this studio enough.
My daughter looks forward to her weekly classes of ballet! The teacher's are amazing, and they have so much patience with the little ones. Thank you all for your time! My baby is turning into a dancing swan!
Our 3 year old loves the school and her instructor. She loves pointing out the building every time we drive by. The price is fantastic too. Very pleased with everything.
Adult ballet at Stafford Ballet Academy
Stafford Ballet Academy 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 Stafford Ballet Academy
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.
