From the reviews
I WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND ADULT DAY-TIME CLASSES AT GLORIA EVE PERFORMING ARTS FOUNDATION INC. I don't understand why in LONG ISLAND the Performing Arts Foundations and/or Schools DO NOT offer ADULT CLASSES! There are many ADULT'S who would be quite willing to commit to CLASSES from BEGINNER'S to PROFESSIONAL.
It's really a great place to have children enrolled in. The Instructors are very patient and loving which are major big pluses. The children enjoy and at the end of the year they have a dance recital which is of nother. It's a Broadway in itself.
It is so cool and nice I have been here for 3years and it really good you should take your children there the dances are fun and really amazing I I seen them some are cute some are cool some amazing
It's a very good dance school with a very strict dress code unlike others however my daughter loves it so much that we still travel far for her to still attend.
Adult ballet at The Gloria Eve Performing Arts Foundation Inc.
The Gloria Eve Performing Arts Foundation Inc. 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 Gloria Eve Performing Arts Foundation Inc.
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.
