From the reviews
Have been taking adult ballet classes here. The instructor is knowledgeable and responsible. The classes and classmates are welcoming, encouraging and friendly. The adult ballet classes have all levels.
Both of my daughters have been taking ballet class at Yu Xin Ballet School for the last year and have had a wonderful experience. We were a bit worried if our youngest daughter, who had just turned 4 when she started, would be able to participate well in the 1 hour class, but Teacher Yu and Stephanie have been able to…
My daughter has been attending Yu Xin Ballet school for the past year and enjoyed it greatly. Teacher Yu Xin was a professional dancer in the national team before establishing his own school. He holds a very high standard to the quality of his classes and students.
My daughter has been attending classes there for about 7 months, and it has been a fantastic experience for her. Teacher Yu is highly skilled, experienced, and passionate about ballet, and he is dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential.
Adult ballet at Yu Xin Ballet School
Yu Xin Ballet School 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 Yu Xin Ballet School
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.
