Awesome studio with a spectacular view of the ocean and the dance instructors are AMAZING!!!
What a wonderful place! It's not easy to find adult dance classes, but this dance company not only has a rigorous and talented dance program for their youth, but it also has a healthy thriving dance community of adults. They offer several classes throughout the week from exceptional dance instructors.
We absolutely loved our time at The Dance Company. From the very first day, we felt so welcomed and supported. The dance teacher is truly one of the kindest people we’ve ever met, and it shows in the way she connects with every student. Everyone who works there is so caring, patient, and encouraging.
Adult ballet at The Dance Company
The Dance Company 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 Dance Company
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.
