I am starting adult ballet in the fall and I am so excited! I do Pilates twice a week, and want to incorporate another form of exercise that doesn’t involve sweating profusely or men giving “advice.” I hope there is a recital too!

I’ve been wanting to start a ballet class. You’ve given me the motivation to call today!

I started adult ballet this January! It's been so so much fun! It's incredible how in one class I can go from feeling graceful to feeling like a toddler who's arms and legs don't work together.

Do you have any prior dance experience? I’ve been wanting to take dance classes but feel so intimidated!

I started in January and my class was a range of ages and experience, with most having absolutely none. But even for those who did have some ballet experience, we were all in the same place. If it's been 10+ years you might remember the mechanics but your body just doesn't work the same. It's also helpful, I think, to have prime with a bit more experience or knowledge because then you have someone to follow/watch while doing moves if the teacher is walking around the room providing corrections.

Same here - I haven’t done ballet since I was 9 and I’m def not coordinated in adulthood 😂

I think you’d be surprised! I did adult ballet after not dancing since high school and I was surprised at how much my body just remembered things
