From the reviews
My daughter loves this place! Mr. And Mrs.Marks have been great ballet teachers and mentors for her. They turned her into a real ballerina. So glad we found it!
My daughter has been attending here for several years and I could not be happier with the quality of instruction that she receives here.
We enjoyed being at TMB for the three years we were able. Mr. And Mrs. Marks are true professionals and always worked so hard to teach the kids. My daughter learned so much and came out a much better dancer than before!
Excellent service and my granddaughter is enjoying it for the summer. The personnel in charge is experienced and helped with their skills a lot .
Adult ballet at Texas Metropolitan Ballet
Texas Metropolitan Ballet 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 Texas Metropolitan 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.
