The programs they offer
“After that he decided to open up classes for adults (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-1:30) and I couldn’t have been happier!”
“My child has been taking classes at this studio for 5years and we love our dance family.”
“I started by taking private classes with Dmitry about 3 times a month for 5 months and I improved so much because of his instruction.”
“Our adult Autistic daughters can be quite a handful to care for and these classes are her one true respite.”
How they train
“If you want to learn Russian Vaganova ballet method, this is the place to be.”
What families & students say
“The teachers are AMAZING, their patience, love and devotion to dance is unmatched and it’s evident in how they treat the students.”
“His classes are very technique oriented, which is great for adults that didn’t grow up in ballet from a young age.”
“But, it feels like a family because my daughter loves it there, and we’ve gotten to know some of the families outside of the dance studio.”
“Over the years, Zemskov Dance Academy has become like a second family although I am not there as often as my daughter and wife.”
“Also, he typically puts on his production of The Nutcracker, around Christmas time, and invites his adult students to audition and perform as well, not just his younger students.”
“I went to the Adult Ballet Class at this Academy.”
From the reviews
Zemskov dance academy is amazing, it's like having family dancing with you. Ms. Kristen is such a wonderful lady and loves all her students. I encourage any parent who's children want to learn ballet or dance should go here.
I am not only a parent of two daughters that attend Zemskov, but also a teacher there. My daughter's just participated in their 5th recital which was amazing!!! Over the years, I have seen the caliber of teaching and student participation soar!
I looked at many places for ballet before putting my daughter here and found Zemskov Dance Academy to be one of the best places, the instructors and staff are professional , patient and very nice ! I love the environment and support :) Very happy with picking Zemskov Dance Academy !!!
My wife attends ballet classes here. She has danced since she was 4. I won't say how many years it's been, but quite a few! Our adult Autistic daughters can be quite a handful to care for and these classes are her one true respite. Thanks Dimitri for a great experience over the last 8 years.
Adult ballet at Zemskov Dance Academy
Zemskov Dance Academy 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 Zemskov Dance Academy
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.
