Adult Classes

Whether you are rekindling a love for ballet from your youth or stepping into the studio for the first time, Toledo Ballet’s Adult Classes offer the perfect opportunity to move, learn, and grow. Our Beginning/Intermediate class, led by Ann Heckler, welcomes absolute beginners as well as those with some prior experience who aren’t quite ready for the advanced level. For dancers eager to deepen their technique, the Intermediate/Advanced class, taught by Laura Otto, provides a more challenging progression. Students interested in advancing should consult with Ann Heckler or Laura Otto before enrolling to ensure the best fit for their skill level. 

New in Fall 2025 is Dance Exploration for Adults, designed for students age 50 and above. This class, taught by Kerri Wilde, is a welcoming and uplifting class designed to help adults reconnect with the joy of movement in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Come move, groove, and explore how dance can bring energy, joy, and wellness into your life! Thanks to generous support from MedMutual, we are thrilled to offer this class at a discounted rate of $40/month or $150 for the entire session. This will apply to your account after registration.
