From the reviews
Our tiny dancer was told she would never be able to walk let alone dance due to a medical diagnosis. She now is on the competition team and dances her heart out both at the studio and at home. We wouldn’t be where we are today without of course her medical team and her dance teachers.
I had never taken a dance class before in my life, but was vaguely curious about ballet, because it seems such a graceful and elegant art. I am SO glad I called Stage Door and asked about the adult ballet class. I was going to put attending off until summer, but Ms.
Love this place. Been a part of the stage door family since my daughter was 6 and she's 16 now and wouldn't dance anywhere else. From kids to adult classes the whole team is so amazing and the dancers are amazing as well. Go take a trial class you'll never want to leave.
I went here last Saturday for a trial for a “parent and me” class to start my daughter in. I was greeted immediately and given a tour around the whole studio before the class started. EVERYONE is soooo super nice who works here, and so accommodating.
Adult ballet at Stage Door School of Dance
Stage Door School of Dance 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 Stage Door School of Dance
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.
