From the reviews
My daughter is so happy with her ballet class. The teacher is sweet and well prepared. I appreciate the extra effort the staff places on the safety and well being of the children. Prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. This school also offers music lessons, which is a great complement to art of ballet.
My daughter danced at this school from toddler to graduate and I also don't agree at all with the negative reviews. Throughout the twelve years she attended we found the staff to be very kind and professional.
I have been bringing my child to this ballet school for many years and I can say those malicious comments are just not true. First, every teacher is of high standards and they all correct and teach our children the art of ballet. And we as parents are thankful because we learn too!
This school is one of the best in Miami. My granddaughter has been happy since her first class, until today. And it's been seven years! The professionalism of the staff, teachers, is evident in each show and in its Open Classes.
Adult ballet at Vladimir Issaev School of Classical Ballet
Vladimir Issaev School of Classical 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 Vladimir Issaev School of Classical 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.
