It’s never too late to learn to dance! Our adult classes are accompanied by live music and are offered from beginner to intermediate level.

All adult classes take place at our headquarters in Leeds LS2 7PA, unless otherwise specified.
Adult Ballet
Whether you are a complete beginner or have previous ballet experience, we have a class tailored especially for you. These weekly classes will improve your fitness, technique, flexibility and posture.
You must register before you book a class.
Adult Ballet Improver drop in
Our weekly improver drop in class will work on your classical technique skills, whilst building strength, stamina and coordination. As a step up from our adult courses, this drop in class will introduce new steps and vocabulary. We encourage dancers not yet at an improver level to take our beginner level courses and feel confident in their beginner technique before advancing to this class.
Adult Ballet Intermediate drop in
Our weekly intermediate drop in will be at a quicker pace than our courses and will cover more challenging steps including turns, adage and travelling at an intermediate level. We encourage dancers not yet at an intermediate level to take our beginner level courses and/or our improver drop in class and feel confident in their technique before advancing to this class.
Ballet Fit drop in
New for 2025, our weekly Ballet Fit classes are the perfect way to have fun and work out, offering a full ballet class with a twist. Featuring a mix of energetic music, fun combinations and cardio exercises, these drop in classes will help you feel stronger, fitter and happier.
