View class Adult Open Ballet is for grown-ups who have always wanted to try ballet, and for those coming back to the barre after years — or decades — away. There are no leotards required, no childhood-prodigy expectations, and absolutely no judgement. Just a warm, well-taught hour that leaves you standing taller and moving more freely.
What this class is
Adults trying ballet for the first time or returning after years away.
We run a genuine beginners class and a separate improvers class, so you are never the only new face in a room of experts. Teaching is clear and friendly, with the technique broken down properly — adults learn quickly when ballet is explained, not just demonstrated. You can book by the term or pay as you go around a busy schedule.
It is a wonderful choice for posture, strength, balance and a real sense of calm after a working day. Many of our adult dancers tell us it has become the hour of the week they protect most fiercely.
