From the reviews
My girls have danced since they were two and this is where I've seen the most unadulterated joy on their faces, period. This is linked directly to the actual Louisville Ballet
I thought the performance was great...have seen it many times. The dancers were tight & did the group dances together/ in zinc. The orchestra which accompanied the dancers were also spectacular. My parents were dancers in Europe for yrs. My father had a company. My father was Robert Iglesias mother Aida Ramirez.
Cultural pass adventure was a good experience but more details should have been provided. Ex. 30 minute classes during blocked time I thought I was going to be late for a 10 am start time so I rushed then found out I could have caught the next time slot. My kiddo had a blast in creative movement course
High-quality instruction for dancers of any age and skill level. Whether you're brand new to ballet or a seasoned professional staying on top of your technique during a break, you'll find classes to suit your needs along with a friendly community of hard-working students.
Adult ballet at The Louisville Ballet School
The Louisville 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 Louisville 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.
