Adult Dance Classes
Wednesdays 5:45-6:45
At L’Ecole, we believe dance should be challenging without being intimidating, structured without being rigid, and joyful without sacrificing quality technique. Our adult classes are taught in the same non-competitive, supportive spirit that guides our entire studio: strong foundations, healthy movement habits, artistry and musicality, and an understanding that mistakes are a natural part of learning. Whether you’re stepping into a studio for the first time or returning to dance after years away, our goal is to help you feel capable, included, and proud of your progress while developing a genuine love of movement. Not to mention, you may just find your new favorite little community along the way!
We offer adult classes in 6/7 week sessions throughout the year. This year, we are offering basic adult ballet and tap.
$150 per session | Sign up for each session as we go, all at once, or a few at a time!
