From the reviews
This is our second year doing dance at The Ballet Studio with my 4 year old and the first year doing Mommy and Me classes with our little! Can't say enough good things about the staff. Everyone there is so kind and all of the teachers are very knowledgeable and so wonderful with our kids.
We love the Ballet 🩰 Studio. Everyone is so pleasant and welcoming. My 3 yr old is very excited about every class she attended. She’s always looking forward to the next one.
I have had such a wonderful experience at this studio! Everyone is incredibly welcoming and kind, which made me feel comfortable right away. The classes themselves were uplifting, well-paced, and left me feeling great afterward. Highly recommend to anyone looking for adult ballet classes in Lafayette!
My daughter Piper was part of an exclusive ballet intensive in Miami this June, and after attending, her interest in ballet really grew. When we returned, we reached out to The Ballet Studio—highly recommended by top dance instructors in the area—and Brie and her staff made the enrollment process so easy and welcoming.
Adult ballet at The Ballet Studio Lafayette
The Ballet Studio Lafayette 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 The Ballet Studio Lafayette
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.
