Is adult ballet good for you?
Adult ballet is incredibly beneficial. It enhances physical fitness, improves posture, boosts mental health, and provides a creative outlet. Our adult ballet dancers find that ballet helps them relieve stress and build confidence. Picture yourself in our beautiful studio, moving to the music and feeling the day's worries melt away. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Many of our classes have a speciality Floor Barre that you can join before your Classical Ballet classes.
At what age do most people quit ballet, and why couldn’t they return to classes?
Many people stopped taking ballet classes in their teenage years, often due to other commitments or interests and sometimes financial circumstances, or they were told there was no reason to continue as they had the wrong body type. However, there is no age limit or body limit for enjoying ballet, doing well and achieving great things in your journey. Many adults find joy in returning to ballet later in life. If you've regretted quitting ballet, now is the perfect time to return. Our classes are filled with adults like you who have rediscovered their love for dance. They are reigniting their passion for ballet! Our studios are designed purposefully to be inclusive and welcoming dynamic, allowing each individual a safe space with no judgment, not like a traditional children’s ballet school structure.
