From the reviews
Rating is for the Nutcracker show at Santa Ana High School. Great location and performance was exceptional. Very professionally done and it’s amazing to see many talented young dancers. There was a lot of passion for the art and it showed! The high school site was easy to find and had a lot of parking available.
Today I went for an adult class and I loved it! The facility was clean and organized; the class was marvelous and the instructor Victor was amazing! I'm so happy I found this studio, my friend and I loved it! Thank you, gracias and спасибо!
I cannot thank V&T enough, I have been with them for 9 years. They offer excellent quality Vaganova ballet training. The teachers really care about the students as a person. They never push nor force us to do anything that we’re are not capable or properly trained of. They always tell us to rest when we need it.
Amazing teachers and great families... couldn't ask for a better studio for excellent Russian ballet teaching.
Adult ballet at V&T Classical Ballet & Dance Academy (South Coast Conservatory)
V&T Classical Ballet & Dance Academy (South Coast Conservatory) 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 V&T Classical Ballet & Dance Academy (South Coast Conservatory)
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.
