From the reviews
This school is the real deal. My daughter has learned so much and has gained so much confidence from her classes with Mrs. Harris and Ms. Allegra. Ballet can be an unforgiving and unkind world, but not Woodbury Ballet.
We have danced with this company for three years and couldn't be more pleased with our daughter's instruction and experience. The teachers are passionate about their craft and truly care for the development and enrichment of each dancer. My daughter loves to dance and has flourished with the Woodbury Ballet crew.
A great ballet school! All of the staff welcomed my daughters warmly and the ballet performances have been wonderful so far. My daughters love dancing at Woodbury Ballet! It's been such a nice experience.
This is the most wonderful ballet school . Not only the teachers are very professional, buth they make it fun so the kids want to come back every year. And you should see the dancers that graduate from this school!...absolutely ready and gotten to brilliant places.
Adult ballet at Woodbury Ballet
Woodbury Ballet 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 Woodbury 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.
