Classes for Experienced Dancers
Adult Ballet Classes designed for Experienced Dancers
Are you an experienced dancer? (even a couple of years?)
Have you been longing to dance again?
To feel that deep stretch at the barre?
That moment of stillness before an arabesque, that quiet pride in your posture?
We believe that ballet should be joyful, expressive, and accessible to every body, experienced dancers and beginners alike.
Wherever your dance journey began, we’re here to support your love of ballet into adulthood. We understand the freedom, strength, and grace that ballet brings out in us, and the way a dance studio can feel like home. Our Experienced Adult Ballet classes are the perfect way to return to the studio or support your evolving journey as an adult ballet dancer, alongside other supportive and experienced dancers.
What sets our classes apart?
Our classes are a space created to feel respected, celebrated, and honoured as an adult ballet dancer. We focus on technique and artistry, precision and musicality. We understand that every dancer has different abilities, and we respect and adapt to each dancer’s strengths and limitations.

We want to foster a community of adult ballet dancers who feel safe and valued in every class regardless of their experience level. This means we embrace encouragement, kindness, and openness in all classes.
Is this for me?
If you have a couple of years worth of dance experience under your belt, and you’re reading this with a little tug at your heart… the answer is probably yes.
You don’t need to be in your “prime”, flexible, en pointe, or performance-ready. You just need the desire to dance again.
At City Adult Ballet, we know there’s something incredibly powerful about returning to dance as an adult. It’s graceful, it’s healing, and it’s courageous!
What to Bring
No need to buy anything fancy, just come as you are! We recommend:
- Comfortable clothes you can move in – e.g. leggings or shorts and a fitted top
- A bottle of water (no glass bottles please)
- Ballet shoes or socks are both fine
