    This was a really fun class with Anna. The routine includes a variety of Ballet exercises, both slow and quick tempo which are great for students who have previous experience in Ballet. Anna also provides feedback and encouragement throughout the class making it enjoyable to participate. I took this class as an opportunity to see if I’d like to join a longer Ballet class and this sealed the deal for me!

    Amazing class, Anna conducted a floor barre session and we worked through common alignment and muscular weak areas, then she answered a ton of my questions at the last part of class. The more questions you have the more you will get out of class. I learned a lot. definitely recommend.

    Anna is an excellent teacher! I'm a Ballet beginner, so she went through the basics with me. She was personable and knowledgeable, and gave me new perspectives on how to move and hold my body. I'm excited to apply what I learned in future classes. Thanks for the great experience, Anna!

    I took some ballet classes when I was in college and was looking for a beginner class for adults. The class wasn't too difficult but it wasn't too easy either. I liked that the instructor kept on repeating the basic terms and clarifying different positions. I would take this class again!

    I loved that the class was not too big and I was able to get individual attention. It was geared towards beginners but not too basic, simple choreography and movements were mixed in. 90mins flew by fast! Recommend this class!

Discover the Best Ballet Classes in Los Angeles

Ballet is an artistic dance form that has lasted for centuries due to its precise choreography, fluid movements, and graceful gestures. Ballet dancers use bodily movement and music to tell a story, express complex human emotions, and highlight certain poses. Over the years, ballet has evolved into a more modern dance style that may differ from classical forms of ballet but still places emphasis on refinement and poise. Regardless of the story, music, or style, ballet is a multi-faceted dance style that has withstood the test of time for several reasons.

Why You Should Learn Ballet in Los Angeles

There are many reasons and opportunities to learn ballet in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Ballet has a history entrenched in both traditional and modern forms of ballet. Plus, the LA Ballet put on many ballet performances that are perfect for a night out or a date night. For example, the Music Center in LA hosts the TMC Arts Program, which performs contemporary ballet that merges modern music with timeless dance stylings of ballet. There are so many fun outings to choose from in Los Angeles, so make sure to incorporate a little ballet into your social outings.

Ballet is also a fun and effective way to stay healthy. Being a ballet dancer requires core strength, mental resilience, and correct posture in order to perform the routine. Ballet dancers also benefit from being highly flexible, agile, and graceful since many of the moves they perform are complex and meticulous. By maintaining overall body health and strength, and practicing regularly, you could also learn ballet.

In Adult Ballet I at Santa Monica College, you’ll learn the fundamentals of ballet, such as vocabulary, movement concepts, and footwork. This interactive workshop is taught by a skilled instructor who will help you improve your body alignment, core strength, and stability.

Plus, for an additional $15 fee, you can receive Classical Ballet Fundamentals, a visual guide to help you absorb as much information as possible.

The Athletic Garage Dance and BodyWork Studio in Pasadena offers a Ballet (Open Level) class, suitable for all levels of ballet experience.

Your teen will leave this class feeling more poised, strong, and graceful.

You only have to come prepared with a yoga mat and the desire to get your body moving – your instructor will provide all other equipment and materials.

If you can’t access in-person ballet classes, don’t let that stop you. There are plenty of online ballet classes that can help you achieve your goals while learning the art of ballet. These classes are taught in locations nationwide with live and experienced instructors. Plus, learning online saves time and money on a commute.

You may need to provide your own supplies for online courses, but many items are easily accessible from a local store or online seller. You may already have these items in your house, such as workout clothes, a yoga mat, or a water bottle.

The minimum group size for these events is 10 participants; however, the event can accommodate up to 500 people. As long as you meet the minimum, you can adjust the final group size up until a week before the event, so you don’t have to know your exact group size when you book.

Additionally, there are zero booking fees with CourseHorse. For a $150 fee, you can extend the fun by customizing your event. This can include an additional lesson, more time at the event, or a personalized game with included materials. CourseHorse will send you a confirmation within 24 hours of your reservation.

CourseHorse recommends the Zoom platform for events but can accommodate other platforms as well. Some include Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx. If you prefer an in-person event, many courses can even come to your office, party, or home.
