The School of Ballet Theatre Company (SBTC) is pleased to announce classes for adults in the new year.

Moving into the new year, SBTC encourages people to get moving and stay active. Adult ballet is a great workout for the whole body. Ballet is a weight-bearing form of exercise which strengthens muscles, promotes healthy bones, and increases coordination. It uses the full range of muscles which improves cognitive functions. It is great for posture and balance too!

We offer a five class pass for those who are not sure they can commit for a full year. This pass is $100. You are also welcome to enroll for the year which costs $302.50 after it is prorated. You may enroll and register through our online portal.

No ballet background is required! The dress code for this class is relaxed: We just ask that you make sure to wear something that you can dance in and feel confident in. We do require ballet flat shoes for this class.

We are thrilled to have Anna Laghezza, a scholarship recipient at the School of American Ballet and former dancer with Miami City Ballet, as the teacher for this class. Adult Ballet is offered once a week; Tuesday from 8-9pm.
