We’re excited to announce the reformatting of our Adult Ballet class and the creation of a new Beginner Jazz class!

These two classes are now open to beginner dancers ages 13 and up, including adults.

Whether you’re an adult who has always wanted to try ballet or jazz, getting back into dance after a few years away, or a teen looking for a beginner-level class, these classes are for you!

✨ FREE Trial Classes — Thursday, September 24
