From the reviews
I was looking far and wide for a ballet school for my daughter that taught ballet but also the beauty of class, etiquette and modesty for boys and girls. Sounds like a unicorn, right? I thought so too until I came across Berwyn Ballet.
Our kids loved TBBS - and we love the environment! TBBS cares about each student; the kids have fun and learn, all while fostering a healthy body image. We had one child enrolled just for fun and she loved going once a week!
Berwyn Ballet has been a wonderful home for my daughter. The instructors think about the dancers as whole people, taking care to develop not only their bodies but also their minds and souls.
I love the adult classes at Berwyn Ballet School! The instructors are fun and encouraging; they have made me feel completely comfortable dancing for the first time in many years. Ballet class is now my favorite way to get some exercise and make new friends.
Adult ballet at The Berwyn Ballet School
The Berwyn Ballet School 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 The Berwyn Ballet School
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.
