From the reviews
Great teacher. Classes for all levels and ages. Try the absolute beginner series if you've never taken ballet or your last ballet class was 20 years ago.
Kip is great and only teaches adults. Ballet is strict yes, and so is Kip-- but not unreasonably so. He's passionate about dance and teaching. Whatever level your at Kip will find a spot for you! No experience necessary. Men take classes here too regularly.
Kip is an amazing teacher. He has a really unique ability to synthesize information about the mechanics and purpose of movement.
Excellent instructor, great classes, superb way to get into better shape. (Even for guys!)
Adult ballet at Symmetry Dance Wellness
Symmetry Dance Wellness runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Symmetry Dance Wellness
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.
