Join one of our popular ballet dancing classes for adults at our studio in Carlisle. Though you can join at any point during the year (between September and July), we don't run 'drop-in' classes. Instead, you’ll focus on building your work from the previous week so that you can always see your progress. We think this way is much more enjoyable and rewarding!

Class sizes are relatively small, with a maximum of 12-16 people per lesson. This allows teachers to give attention to every individual, as well as the group as a whole. You’ll find a calm, safe and encouraging space during lessons, so you can relax and enjoy spending the time doing something you love.

Our adult beginner ballet classes are very popular! They're perfect if you’re a complete beginner, danced as a child, or have had a long break and are returning to dance classes. Wear whatever you find comfortable to move in, and come along for a taster session or two if you're not entirely sure.

This improvers ballet class is a good option if you danced as a teenager, are returning to dancing after a short break, or are moving up from the beginner's class. We’ll spend time fine-tuning your technique and doing more advanced work.

For those of you who are fairly experienced and want to continue to improve your technique and maintain your skills, our experienced dancers’ classes will help. Work on improving your existing skills and perfecting your technique.

A calm, gentle class focussing on alignment, control and flexibility to support ballet training and general health.

We know that coming to a brand-new class, especially if you've never tried ballet before, can be a bit unnerving. That's why all new students can pay weekly for the first couple of classes, giving you the chance to see whether the class is right for you before you sign up.

Once you've signed up, payment is due on the 1st of each month. You can manually pay this via bank transfer, or set up a standing order so you never miss a payment.

A one-hour class is £9 per person. You can read more about our fees here.

All of our adult ballet classes are relaxed, and you don't need to wear anything particular to take part. As long as you're comfortable and easily able to move, then you're good to go. However, if you would like to buy ballet shoes or anything else, we sell these at the studio. You can browse when you visit or get in touch to ask about available items.

We know it can be a bit daunting to start something new, or to return to ballet if you haven't danced in many years. We are very happy to meet with you or have a chat over the phone to discuss which of our ballet classes is best for you and to answer any questions you may have. If you would like to arrange a time to visit the studio and meet the teacher, or arrange a phone call, you can contact us here. We'll make sure you feel comfortable and ready for when you start your first ballet class.
