From the reviews
Watching, taking class, and knowing the dancers at Tybee Ballet Theatre has been such a refreshing and inspiring experience for me as a fellow ballet dancer and performer. They care about their students, company dancers, and community. Definitely take a moment to go see them perform if you have the chance.
Tybee Ballet has been a game changer for my daughters (and for me). I grew up a dancer, and I always hoped that spark would come for my kids. It wasn't until we came to TBT (our third and final studio) that I saw the glimmer in their eyes that I remembered as a small girl.
I have been going to Tybee Ballet Theater for a year now, and I will forever be greatful for all they have done for me. All of the teachers are kind and understanding, and they make sure every student feels safe to make mistakes.
Best school ever. You want your kids here. This place delivers on amazing instructors who dedicate themselves to their craft and your children. Let’s talk about performances. If you are sick of the boring recital thing this is the place to go. You will no longer be subject to siting through a boring recital.
Adult ballet at Tybee Ballet Theatre
Tybee Ballet Theatre 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 Tybee Ballet Theatre
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.
