Improve your fitness, strength, and flexibility with adult ballet in a fun, supportive, and community-focused setting—no tutu required! Whether you're brand new, returning after a break, or looking for a local alternative to city studios with city parking, we have a class for you! With multiple levels and schedules, our professionally trained instructors help you build technique, prevent injury, and enjoy the many physical and mental benefits of ballet. You will also get the opportunity to build community and friendships in a healthy and welcoming environment.

Ballet 2 Specifics:

This intermediate-level class is perfect for dancers with experience in both barre and basic center work (such as balancé, pas de bourrée, piqué, basic pirouettes, and small jumps). Build on your foundation with more complex steps, varied arm positions, and challenging combinations designed to improve strength, coordination, and artistry. Receive personal corrections to help you improve your technique and prevent injury. Ideal for adults and teens returning to ballet or looking to refine skills in a supportive, noncompetitive environment. 

Why take ballet? Here are some of our favorite benefits:

• Increased balance, strength, mobility, coordination, and flexibility
• Improve cardio, core strength and posture/alignment
• Reduce risk of Alzheimer's and dementia
• Stress reduction
• Injury and pain prevention
• “Putting your hand on the barre makes the rest of the world melt away”, also known as escape and you time!
• Perfect for helping you keep an active (and social) lifestyle!

Midwest School of Ballet’s experienced instructors provide a traditional ballet format of barre and center work while emphasizing proper alignment, technique, musicality, and artistry. If you have any questions about what class to sign up for just email us and we can help. The most important thing is for all students to be doing ballet safely.
