AnnW says, "In the past few years I have taken many ballroom lessons with an assortment of teachers. I have never considered myself particularly graceful or good at dancing. With Vuk I have been able to progress rapidly and learn more than I could have thought possible. He is encouraging, when a lot of my previous teachers were not. He is knowledgable, and adapts his teaching methods to fit my learning style. He is accomplished and is a Master and Grandmaster in several styles of dance. He is sneaky and knows that the best way to make me want to learn something is to say that it is really difficult. He is fun, so I am able to relax and not be nervous as I was in the beginning. With over ten years of competitive and teaching experience you can be sure that you will be learning dance steps and styling the correct way. Vuk means Wolf in Serbian. " Read more

I'm looking to work with interested individuals at ANY and ALL levels to explore the inner workings of each person's daily motivation. I want to help others identify their performance goals, and us swiftly and passionately explore how to maximize the expression. Whether I am singing, acting, or dancing, I understand that expression and exploration lead to creation. Creative space is needed for anything in this world to progress so I enjoy being in the room when each person feels like they have a space to engage in.

Your ballet questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much are ballet classes?

Ballet classes cost $60 to $200+ per month, depending on the studio location, reputation, and the number of classes per week. One class per week typically costs $60 to $70 per month, while the monthly rate for an unlimited class pass is $150 to $250. At many studios, you'll also pay a $25 to $50 non-refundable registration fee.

  • Ballet studios often offer the first class for free to help you decide if you want to register for a full season.
  • Some ballet studios offer a discount when paying in full for the entire season or when registering siblings or more than one child.
  • Private ballet classes cost $50 to $85 per hour on average.

What is ballet?

Classical ballet is a theatrical form of dance using slow, formal body movement techniques, music, and often scenery to tell a story or express a concept or emotion. Contemporary ballet dancing combines classical ballet with ethnic, jazz, and modern dance styles, incorporating faster movements, floor work, and often bare feet instead of ballet shoes.

How long is a ballet class?

While class lengths vary by dance studio, traditional ballet classes typically last 90 minutes, with the first 30 to 45 minutes spent at the barre to warm up the body and the second part of the class focusing on center work.

At what age can you start ballet classes?

Formal ballet classes typically start around age 7 or 8, but many studios offer "pre-ballet" classes for ages 4 to 6, combining games with ballet techniques and steps to create a fun class that helps the child learn some basics while also developing their ability to working together in a group class setting. Some dance studios even offer "baby ballet" or "mommy and me" classes for children as young as 2 or 3 years old.

Can adults take ballet classes?

Yes! You can start taking ballet classes at any age. Most studios offer ballet classes for teens and adults. Learning ballet as an adult offers many benefits, such as developing good posture, physical coordination, mental focus, mental and physical flexibility, self-confidence, and social skills.

What should you wear to a ballet class?

Most ballet studios recommend wearing flexible fabric that hugs tight to the body so your movement is not restricted, and the teacher can clearly see the moves you are making. Traditional ballet studios often require a black leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet slippers for female attire and black tights, dance pants, or dance shorts with a fitted white T-shirt and black ballet shoes for males. Every dance studio has its own guidelines for dance class attire, so be sure to confirm the clothing requirements with your ballet studio before your first class.

How do I choose the best ballet class?

When searching for ballet classes near you, be sure to:

  • Look for a licensed and insured ballet studio that has been in business for 5+ years.
  • Check out their reviews on Lessons.com and Google.
  • Review their website for scheduling information and photos or videos.
  • Read all contract terms before signing.

What questions should I ask when searching for ballet classes near me?

Consider asking the following questions to help you choose a ballet studio:

  • Do you offer classes for an absolute beginner?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • Do I need to register?
  • Do you offer drop-in classes?
  • Can I join a class that has already started?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • Do you have any package deals or new student offers?
  • Do you offer private lessons?
  • What forms of payment do you take?
  • Do I need to pay in advance?
  • What type of clothing should I wear to class?
  • What shoes should I wear?
  • Will there be a recital?

Reviews for Stamford ballet classes

Recent success stories from people in the Stamford area.
Carol G.
Vuk was my first dance instructor. I started at 60 years of age at a time that was very difficult in my life . He made things easier and taught me well. Gave me a solid foundation of ballroom dancing. Gave me the courage and strength to perform in a showcase and compete on the dancefloor. His easy manner and "you can do anything" attitude has not only made dancing a part of my life but has given me the insight to look at other thing that seemed beyond my grasp and try my hand at them. He is an amazing young man who is a great teacher and dancer.

Phillip is a caring and excellent teacher for people of all ages and abilities. He is very knowledgeable in dance technique but is able break it down in ways that are easy to understand for people who are new to dance. His classes are challenging in the best way and I've improved in areas I didn't think I could at my age.
