If you’re considering taking a lesson here are some things to expect:

Come dressed in stretchy clothes

As long as you’re dressed in clothes that won’t rip you’ll be able to follow along just fine. Anything from basketball shorts to leggings works great.

Don’t be intimidated

Idaho Ballet Theatre classes wear uniforms, so you won’t have the same outfits as everyone else your first time. However, each of us began somewhere. We teach all skill levels and you’ll find how quickly you can grasp the basics, meet friends and improve your form. No one will be anything but encouraging and helpful in your desire to learn ballet.

Ask questions

If you hear something that doesn’t make sense, or is a new concept we will gladly explain it to you. If another student has the answer they will help you understand, and as we continue to get more students you will have the opportunity to pay the favor forward.


Beginning a discipline like ballet can feel intimidating. We want you to feel anything but that. This exciting, satisfying and beautiful form of dance is something that can benefit anyone’s life that participates.
