[i]One question....where are you located? (You don't have to say the exact town, but give me some idea of what might be around you.)You should first look for an adult class. At 32 you really don't want to be among a gaggle of pre-pubescent girls!There are a lot of suggestions that would follow.... If you're in a university town, the college may have extension courses for adults. There you'll find more serious adults interested in starting ballet.If you're in a larger area that has a dance company, or near a school that supports its own performance group, you may try these.One thing NOT to do is pick a studio at random from the phone book. "Little Miss Twinkletoes' School of Dance and Basketweaving" is probably NOT the place to pick! If you see a studio that advertizes a director who danced with so-and-so company, or that has indicators like "Ms. Hopkins trained at RAD" or "Member of the Cecchetti Council," there'll probably be a more serious attitude towards dance.Be prepared to travel to a studio! The closest studio may not be the place.DanceMagazine, available at most bookstores, like Barnes & Noble, has classified ads in the back for schools by state. These ads are not cheap, so if you find a school there they probably are more serious about training, including adults.Male or female instructor.... For my two cents, I really like male instructors because of their perspective on the male in ballet. HOWEVER, I would suggest a female instructor to start with. Most male instructors teach at higher levels; you don't typically see a male teaching introductory classes.Good luck! Please let me know if this helps, or if you need more suggestions. balletboy [/i]
