From the reviews
Great Studio, has a variety of classes for all ages, levels. Very beautiful and modern facility with comfortable areas to watch classes and wait while your kids dance. All the teachers are very kind, yet professional with emphasis on technique and positivity.
We absolutely love Summerbella. My very young daughter is really learning a lot of skills, and I feel like every second of class is really focused on dancing. I also really appreciate that they have the children do skills individually so they can be observed and corrected.
We love Summerbella and everyone here! Their dance classes are fantastic , both in fun and technique. And the owners and teachers truly do pour their hearts here, as another reviewer perfectly stated. We’ve taken 3-5 year ballet/ tap , hip hop, and adult tap. Such a gem in our community!
Summerbella is the best studio ever! They have the nicest teachers! They are so welcoming and technique driven! 🩷
Adult ballet at Summerbella
Summerbella 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 Summerbella
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.
