Amanda S. says, "I love Coach Anne's direct approach. She isn't running a kinder-care system. She's teaching your kids that hard work is worthwhile. Of course there is a ton of love, support, and FUN that goes with it, but underneath it all, there are a lot of life lessons going on, too. To sum up our experience across three of EDE's teams, I'll quote the head coach herself, "It's good to have fun, but it's FUN to be good." Don't wait to enroll in this program. Do it RIGHT NOW.

Nellie D. says, "I absolutely love working with Rosella! She was exactly what I was looking for when I decided to find a passion in dance again. I tried multiple classes with other instructors, but never felt the urge to return. In January 2022, I walked into Rosella’s class & instantly felt the lively energy! The various styles of choreography is very inclusive, which is one of my favorite things about working with her. Whether she knows it or not, she’s helped me come out of my shell & find a confidence I was never able to display elsewhere. Here I am in January 2023 & still dancing! " Read more

Your ballet questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Leah W.
Working with Rosella has empowered me to feel a new level of healthy, confident, beautiful and strong. I love moving to her bachata, hip-hop and burlesque-inspired styles. As a trained dancer myself, I am so impressed by Rosella’s knowledge, direction, artistic vision and expert choreography and styling. She always gets the best out of me, and I always look forward to dancing & laughing with her the next time!
