Best Beginning Ballet Barres

Featured Blog Post
My beginning adult ballet students often ask what they should practice at home. One challenge in practicing ballet is that there is so much, it’s hard to know where to start when you don’t have a teacher to guide you. Every class I teach is different, because an important part of dance training is putting steps together in different ways....

What Our Students Say

Adult Ballet

Great ballet classes! Lots of individual attention, small class sizes (until all of Tri-Cities find out about Kate), and she gives beautiful, thorough explanations of all steps, which is especially helpful for students who began ballet as an ​adult like me. The curriculum is very well organized and covers the essentials of ballet in a way that makes it easy to learn and remember, assisting the learning process. Classes include a full warm-up, plenty of barre and technique work, and center work is well-planned choreography! So much fun!
-Holly P.
​I am retired now and really feel the importance of both learning new things and keeping my body strong and flexible, so I am loving Find Your Center's Ballet for Seniors class... Kate shares her expert ballet knowledge in a gentle, creative, respectful, and fun way. This is my first dance class ever and I don't feel at all like this is beyond my ability because Kate focuses on making ballet accessible. She absolutely loves what she does and she wants her students to really enjoy the process. And outcome! I already feel like I am a bit more graceful and balanced and I just love that.

Children's Ballet

Wonderful place. My daughter has enjoyed her ballet class. Ballet classes are joyful and fun... Teacher works wonderfully with the students-makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend this place.
-Cesiah G.
Loved the passion and skill Kate gave to my child for ballet. My daughter became more confident and loves to dance... This studio is very affordable. I am very happy we didn't have to spend extra money on ballet shoes or outfits. The performance in December was also great thanks to the instructors. I would recommend this place 100%!!!!

Capoeira

You won't believe how awesome the Capoeira training is here! I would take a month of classes over a gym membership any day. I have been training here for 10 months with DeShawn and it has been a transforming experience. I started with absolutely no experience in Capoeira or martial arts and I have been able to do complex sequences like the ones you find when you search Capoeira on YouTube. Capoeira is more than just a martial art for me. It builds confidence, musical ability, strength, and community ...[and allows me to] be part of a community that is truly like a second family.
-Kevin H.
It's an awesome workout! Better than a gym in my opinion. Capoeira has opened up a world of community and culture to me and it is a lot of fun! I'm literally smiling most of the class!
-Carolyn S.
Great capoeira lessons for students at all levels.
