Due to the length and genre of the class, we cannot accept our regular class cards at ballet, so we came up with a monthly pass to reward savings to regular customers. The pre-paid month-long sessions are typically 33% off the regular price, which amounts to only $10 a class. You won’t find a better deal anywhere else in Philadelphia! With the addition of a second section of ballet in 2012, we’re sweetening the deal by allowing monthly pass holders to make up missed classes. So for example, if something comes up on one of your Thursday night absolute beginner sessions, you can make it up on a Monday night at no extra charge. Make-ups, however, must be done within the same month as the discount pass. Space is limited due to the use of the barre, so we only allot about 10 discount passes.

Wondering which section is right for you? Sign up for the Absolute Beginner session if you’ve never done ballet before, you can’t really remember what you learned way back when or your canvas slippers have turned a different color from decades of sitting in your closet. If you’ve got some ballet experience under your belt, contact us to find out whether the Advanced Beginner section is right for you. Or, drop in one time and see how you feel. The barre purposefully limits the size of the class so our instructor can give individual attention to everyone. If you need an extra challenge – she’ll give it to you!

If you’re looking for more personal attention, private lessons are available for any level. Prices start at $65 an hour. Simply contact us and we’ll get you set up!

Appropriate attire is necessary for ballet class. Please wear tights or form-fitting leggings or pants – nothing baggy – and ballet slippers. Slippers can be purchased for $12 to $15 at a local shop like Baum’s or online at Discount Dance Supply.
