I’ve never taken ballet before, which class should I
take?
Ballet I.
I haven’t
danced in several years, which class should I take?
We suggest starting with the Introduction to Ballet class
to get your muscle memory back and
then move up through Beginning I and II as you feel comfortable.
Some students take a combination of these classes.
When do classes
begin?
Our adult classes are ongoing throughout the year. There are
no session start dates - you can start whenever you like.
How do I
register?
Our adult classes are “open,” meaning you can
start whenever you like and take as many or as few classes
as you like on a pay as you come basis. There is no formal
registration - just show up a bit early to fill out your liability
waiver form.
What is the
cost?
Cost is $10.00/class or you can purchase a class punch card
at a discounted rate; 5 classes $45, 10 classes $90.
What is the
dress code?
There is no dress code. As long as the instructor can see
the form of your body to make corrections, we recommend -
tights & leotard, t-shirt & leggings or shorts, etc.
Do I need
ballet slippers?
You will want ballet slippers eventually. Grand Jete' in St.
Paul is an excellent source for dance shoes. 975 Grand Avenue,
St. Paul 55105, 651-227-0331. If you are unable to acquire
shoes before your first class, you can start in 100% cotton
socks.
Will I be
the only adult in the Intro or Beginning Class?
The students in all our classes range in age from 13 - 70.
Attendance varies from night to night, so it is always a different
mix.
Is there
a difference between Beginning Ballet I and Beginning Ballet
II?
Yes. Beginning Ballet I is the next step up from the Introduction
class. Beginning Ballet II is a beginning/intermediate level
class.
Which classes
offer pointe work?
Pointe is taught in the Tuesday night Intermediate II class & in the
Sunday afternoon Intermediate I / II class.
Do you offer
any Modern or Jazz classes?
Not on a regular basis. We occasionally offer special workshops
taught by guest artists. These offerings are posted on the
home page and on our school bulletin boards.
How do I
find out if classes are cancelled?
Occasionally, classes are cancelled due to severe weather
or holidays. Whenever possible, these cancellations will be
posted on the home page and on our main phone line.
