After doing a lot of research into adult ballet lessons I found the Janet Lomas School Of Dancing. This seemed like a perfect fit as it offered a four-week beginner ballet course and weekly ballet lessons. The beginner ballet course was an excellent introduction to ballet technique with a great amount of description and demonstration and the adult ballet lessons cater for varying abilities. The classes are a great opportunity to dance alongside people around the world, which is an experience that cannot be missed. |

FAQs
|
What will I need for online adult ballet classes?
Before joining any session, please check that you have lots of space and that it is clear of any obstacles. Please also check that your flooring is suitable. Classes are hosted using Zoom – upon enrolling for our online classes, we email over instructions to help you get set up, and can talk you through if you have any difficulties. What should I wear for classes? Participants can wear anything they can easily move around in (no denim) for classes. You are not forced to wear a leotard if you don't want to! However, there are many beautiful styles of leotards and skirts that are available if you wish to really get more of a ballet feel for your classes. Flat ballet shoes are recommended (whole sole or split sole, leather or canvas are best). No pointe or soft pointe shoes. If you are unsure, please feel free to email us. Hair must be securely tied back and no jewellery. |
I am a beginner – can I join your classes?
As we do not recommend our weekly Zoom class for beginners, we regularly run a four-week online beginner adult ballet course. Upon completion of this course, you will have enough knowledge of steps and positions to join our weekly Zoom classes.
Can I join in if I'm in another country?
Our international classes are open to anyone from anywhere, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Classes are taught in English, however we are experienced with teaching dancers where English is not their first language.
Are your online classes hybrid classes (i.e. a face-to-face class that is being live streamed)?
Our online classes are taught as a purely online classes. This means that all the participants in the online class have the full attention of the teacher.
Can I join in the class with my camera switched off?
We ask for participants to have their camera on at all times during the class. This is important for safety so that the teacher can check that the steps are being performed safely and correctly. It also makes a much more friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all participants if cameras are switched on.
What ages are in the adult ballet class and how many are in a class?
We place a strict limit on our online class sizes to ensure that the teacher can see all participants in the group. In our beginner adult ballet course, we have no upper age limit.

If you are aged 55+, then we have a range of Silver Swans® classes that you can join (beginners to advanced classes are available) upon completion of our beginner course.
What happens if I miss a class?
If you miss a class, you will receive a recording of the class for you to access at your convenience.
