Adult Ballet

Our adult ballet class incorporates the basics of ballet in a relaxed, yet professional environment. Each class includes barre work, across-the-floor steps, and classical combinations.

Perfect for brand-new beginners through intermediate dancers, this class helps improve posture, balance, strength, and flexibility—while helping you feel graceful and grounded.

Adult ballet dancers are invited to participate in our annual Nutcracker Ballet each December at the Moss Arts Center.

Broadway / Musical Theatre

Love showtunes? Obsessed with the Big White Way? This class is for you.
From classic choreography (hello, West Side Story!) to contemporary favorites (Six, Hamilton, and more), you’ll be strutting, acting, and dancing with a supportive group of adults ready to brush off their dancing shoes.

A fun, expressive class perfect for building confidence and jazz/theater technique.
