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!

★★★★★ — Maria, Mar 2022

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
