From the reviews
Great dance studio. I've been a dancer all my life so I'm a bit picky when it comes to dance studios. When it was time to find a studio for my kids we chose Velocity in a heart beat! Talented studio with wonderful teachers.
Vince and Erica helped us prepare for our wedding with a choreographed dance - we had a blast with them and felt so much better after our lessons. They are so lovely, easy to work with, and talented! We had no dance background/coordination going into the lesson and came away feeling so much more confident.
My husband and I got such an amazing first dance from Vincent and Erica. Vincent was our instructor and he was incredible! So encouraging and easy to work with. Whipped us into shape in just four lessons. We are so excited to show off to our family and friends. Thank you Vincent for your talent!
What a great experience for my daughter who was a student for over five years at Velocity. Vince and Erica along with the rest of their staff and assistants were always fun and professional.
Adult ballet at Velocity Dance Company
Velocity Dance Company 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 Velocity Dance Company
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.
