Adult Beginner Ballet

Our Beginner class, led by Anna Heckler, welcomes dancers at a beginner level, focusing on developing and refining basic vocabulary, positions, and technique. 

Adult Intermediate Ballet

Our Intermediate class, taught by Ann Heckler, engages with more complex combinations of steps and is taught at a faster pace than the Beginner class.

Adult Intermediate/Advanced Ballet

Our Intermediate/Advanced class, taught by Laura Otto, provides a more challenging progression. Those interested in our advanced course should consult with Ann Heckler or Laura Otto before enrolling to ensure the best fit for their skill level. 

Adult Dance Experience

Julie O'Connell's Adult Musical Theatre Dance Class will explore many different styles of dance seen in a variety of Broadway shows. Beginner through advanced dancers will benefit from this class. It will incorporate basic jazz, musical theatre, and even some tap technique. Each class will start with a warm-up, basic dance steps, then a combination set to upbeat music. Improve your posture, core strength, balance, and flexibility while keeping your brain sharp, having fun, and getting a great workout.
