AVOID THE ADULT BALLET CLASS !!!…read more I was excited to find a ballet studio that offers adult classes in my area. The teacher Dieter Riesle told me that I could come for a trial class free of charge and added that "if you have had gymnastics, other dance forms, yoga or acrobatics prior, you may be able to work yourself into this level". As a 27-year-old former professional athlete who now does yoga and barre on the regular basis, it sounded as I would be able to do it. I came at 10am as the manager Hans-Jakob told me to, but it turned out the classes started at 10:30am. No problem! I waited. At 10:30am Dieter asked me how I was going to pay: cash or check. I said that he mentioned this first class being free so I didn't bring any cash/checks. He told me: oh, then you should SIT AND WATCH TODAY because "I don't want you to hurt yourself"!!! WHAT?!! So 5 seconds ago when you thought I was paying, you were not afraid that I would hurt myself?? The class consisted of older ladies, with one of them not even being able to walk straight anymore due to her old age! I told him that I took some ballet classes in Russia and I am an athlete in general. He did not care! He kept saying I would not be able to keep up with those older women. Wow, they must be retired from Bolshoi Ballet! I left the studio shocked and disgusted.

Mr. Ian and Ms. Sarah might be the sweetest, most caring people we've come across. You can tell they put everything they have into running this business and that each dancer is truly important and cared for. Our girl can be quite nervous and multiple times, the teachers have been able to give her a little extra TLC that gets her to the point of being comfortable enough to give it a try. It takes a special kind of human to keep 20 5-6 year olds entertained and paying attention and everyone here somehow does it with ease! Highly recommend.
