[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 thanks,i live in northern va,near manassas,do you have any idea of where i could go to take a few classes,preferably private to start????i would really appreciate any info that you may have. thanks,starting soon [/i]
