Live Your Dreams

It all begins with an idea. Maybe I should get moving more. Maybe I could use some time for me. Maybe I could start taking dance classes.

Starting or re-starting dance classes as an adult can be a very daunting thought. But there are millions of adult dancers world wide who began training as adults. And of all the things you have managed to do in your life, learning dance is likely not the most difficult thing you’ve accomplished.

Learning to dance is fun! It lets you interact with other like-minded adults, it allows you brain to stop worrying (at least for an hour), and allows your body to relax from its usual stress. Dancing is proven to make you feel happier, to increase your muscle tone and flexibility, and many say it helps them sleep and feel better too.

Adult Pointe

There aren’t a lot of dance programs in the country that offer adult ballet classes. And we take that a step further and are one of the (at last count) 10 locations nationwide that offer more serious dance classes including pointe classes just for adults.

If you know you want to take class more than once per week, even if you are a beginner to dance, our adult pointe class is open to you.

Adult Pointe has a required commitment of three days per week.
