From the reviews
When I moved to Ann Arbor from the Bay Area, I didn’t have high hopes about finding good dance training for my pre-teen daughter and classes for myself. But then we found The Studio Center.
The Studio Centre is a great space open to dancers and athletes at all levels and ages. The adult dance and fitness (HIIT) classes are fun, easy to follow, and a great work out for adults. Tyler is very knowledgeable and passionate about his teaching. A great addition to the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti/Saline community!
Tyler is a great teacher. He’s really good at breaking down complex moves and blending them together. He meets you where you’re at and helps you work on your unique target areas to make you better.
Mr. Tyler's classes are incredible. He works with passion, and love. My daughter loves ballet classes
Adult ballet at The Studio Centre
The Studio Centre 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 Studio Centre
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.
