Come dance.
The rest follows.

Creative movement at three Pointe by invitation Adult ballet, evenings
Classes by age

Every age has a door in.

3–4

Creative Movement

Scarves, a drum, a great deal of hopping. We call it dancing because to them it absolutely is, and the listening comes along quietly.

5–7

Pre-Ballet and Tap

First positions and first shuffles. Classes run forty-five minutes because that is how long forty-five minutes of attention lasts.

8–12

Ballet and Jazz

Where technique quietly starts to matter, the barre becomes a friend, and jazz on Tuesdays keeps the whole thing joyful.

13+

Ballet, Contemporary, Pointe

Serious training for dancers who want it. Pointe is by invitation, when the feet and the teacher agree, and never before.

18+

Adult Ballet and Contemporary

Evening classes for beginners and returners. No one is watching, everyone is in it, and the plié still fixes most things.

This is the live timetable, not a PDF from last fall. When a time changes, we tell our site agent once and it updates the same day. Not sure which level? Ask the desk and we will place you.

First class

Your first class is free.

Any class, any age. No card on file, no trial-week bundle, no follow-up calls. Stand at the barre, hop in the circle, or take Thursday adult ballet on the way home. If it fits, we will talk about the rest. If not, you danced for an hour and it cost nothing.

Save me a spot Or call (555) 555-0141 and tell us the age and the class.
June, one show

One recital. Everyone dances.

Second Saturday of June, one show, a real theater with a real curtain. Every class performs one piece it actually learned in class, so rehearsals never eat your spring.

Nobody is a tree unless they want to be a tree. Solos are earned quietly, not auctioned. Tickets are twelve dollars and the front row belongs to grandparents.

Costumes: $55, ordered in January, worn once with enormous pride. The only recital cost.
Teachers

The people at the front of the room.

Mara Ellison

Director · Ballet and Pointe

Ten years of principal roles with a touring classical company, then a teaching certificate she claims was harder to earn.

Sees the dancer hiding in the back row, and knows exactly how long to wait.

Danielle Okafor

Tap and Jazz

Twelve seasons of musical theater stages and one famously loud pair of tap shoes, resoled four times.

Counts you in, laughs the loudest, notices every clean pull-back.

Sofia Marsh

Contemporary

Eight years with a modern repertory company and a choreography degree she actually uses, mostly on the teens.

Starts every class with one minute of quiet. It works.

Studio notes

The small print, said kindly.

What to wear

For littles, anything you can move in and shoes that stay on. From Level 2, a leotard and tights in any color you love; we care about clean lines, not matching pink. Adults, leggings and socks are fine.

Watching week

Twice a term we open the doors and you watch the whole class, not a phone video of it. The other weeks the door stays closed, because focus is a skill we are teaching too.

Hair, gently

Off the face and out of the eyes, so we can see them. A bun is lovely, a ponytail is fine, and the desk keeps a jar of spare elastics for the mornings that got away from you.

Tuition

Monthly, by classes per week.

One class a week$68 /month
Two classes a week$118 /month
Three or more$158 /month
Adult drop-in$18 /class

No family pays more than $320 a month, however many of you dance.

Siblings, parents taking the adult classes, all of it counts toward the cap.

No recital fee surprises.

Tuition covers classes, rehearsal, and the show itself. The only extra all year is the $55 costume, and you hear about it in January, not May.

Worn pointe shoes and canvas slippers on the sprung wood floor
Room A. A sprung floor that forgives, and the good afternoon light.
Empty mirrored studio in the morning, barre shadows on the floor
Room B. Mirrors end to end and a barre at three heights.
Enroll

Come take the free one.

Write or call with an age and an itch to move. We will suggest a class, save a spot at the barre, and leave the rest to the room.
