From the reviews
Update: my daughter joined the company and loves it. It is intense, but that's what we signed up for, I guess! The girls come here to dance. Between my daughters and nieces, we have taken ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, and tap. They all love it. The teachers are great with all ages.
My kids really like their classes here. They don't nickel-and-dime you to death on class dress codes--you just have to wear the correct-color leotard. The end-of-year performance is held in San Mateo, so it's not too bad a drive.
Love this studio!! It’s an amazing environment with amazing teachers and fellow students! Been dancing here for 5 years and i could not be happier.
Great studio and very positive environment! Incredible teachers who treat their students with kindness :)
Adult ballet at West Coast Dance Conservatory - Millbrae
West Coast Dance Conservatory - Millbrae 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 West Coast Dance Conservatory - Millbrae
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.
