Classes for Experienced Dancers
Where Strength Meets Artistry
Our Intermediate and Advanced classes at City Adult Ballet, are crafted for adults who already have a solid foundation in ballet and want to take their dancing further.
These classes give you space to refine technique, explore artistry, and challenge yourself with more complex combinations and musical phrasing.
You’ll work on strength, stamina, and control while also developing expression, nuance, and confidence as a performer. Each class blends the discipline of classical training with the joy of dancing fully, allowing you to move beyond the basics and into the artistry of ballet. What makes these classes unique is the balance: you’ll be stretched and inspired, yet always supported by teachers who understand adult dancers and respect the journey you’re on. Whether you’re returning to ballet at a high level or maintaining your technique as a seasoned dancer, this is your space to grow, connect, and dance with freedom. Step into the world of ballet in a way that feels welcoming, uplifting, and empowering. At City Adult Ballet, our Intermediate and Advanced / Open ballet classes are designed for adults who want to refine their technique, push their artistry, and enjoy the full challenge of ballet in a supportive, inspiring environment.

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
