From the reviews
I tried their adult ballet during my visit in Sarasota. The instructor Nichole had great technic and gave me some useful personal corrections. Later I found that she was a principal dancer with Sarasota Ballet for many years. I definitely recommend anyone love to dance to try out their adult ballet classes.
My daughter LOVED her experience with Sarasota Cuban Ballet School. Ms. Wilmian was very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Hope to be able to visit again next time we are in the area. Thank you again!
An AMAZING school. Both of my kids dance here. WONDERFUL instructors, a great group of kids + a family atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

Adult ballet at The Sarasota Cuban Ballet
The Sarasota Cuban Ballet 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 Sarasota Cuban Ballet
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.
