How to Find a Ballet Class

Graceful and elegant, ballet appeals to all ages. Whether you prefer Angelina Ballerina or Rudolf Nureyev, this dance form has a timeless appeal. Follow these steps to find a class that helps you progress as a ballet dancer, and more importantly, one that you enjoy.

Instructions

    • 1

      Research the local options for ballet dancing. You can find dance classes by looking in the classified ads or searching for ballet schools online.

    • 2

      Choose a convenient location to narrow your search. There may be several ballet dance studios in a small area. Find out about class schedules so you can pick the most convenient time to study ballet.

    • 3

      Decide on a budget for your ballet dancing. Include the cost of ballet shoes, leotards and tutus as well as the cost of the classes themselves. Find a dance class that matches your budget.

    • 4

      Check out the studio facilities. An old building with a larger space and a wooden floor is better for dancing than a modern building.

    • 5

      Ask about class size, the teacher's qualifications and the kind of music the teacher uses. Expect to pay more for a class with live piano accompaniment.

    • 6

      Take a trial lesson if that option is offered. This is a good way to find out if you like the ballet teacher and to see who else is taking the class.

    • 7

      Compare ballet dance classes, sign up with the best ballet studio and start dancing.
