From the reviews
Finally NOPA gets a gym! Great for remote employees like me. The facilities are a dream - not crowded, brand new equipment, owners who fix your form. Super intimate. Just did the glutes and abs class this morning and I’ll be feeling it!
Hands down the best open ballet classes for adults in the Bay. The instructors are amazing. I feel like I am improving every class. The studios are open, airy, and full of light. Parking is free & easy - under the Lucky supermarket right across the street. Highly recommend.
I am so happy this gym has opened! Beautiful facility, wonderful instructors and interesting class options. Just tried a 6am workout and can’t wait to come back
I am getting so jacked at the Collective Studios. Jaime and Carrie have the best classes!
Adult ballet at The Collective Studios
The Collective Studios 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 Collective Studios
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.
