Our adult classes offer an ongoing schedule with open registration – you may join at any time.

We have no specific dress code for adult dance classes, but ballet slippers should be purchased if you commit to attending a ballet class. Socks can be worn to try out a ballet class.  Please be comfortable, and wear stretchable clothing in which you can move! See more details on what to wear with each class description.
