Hello there!
Thanks for your interest in ballet with us.
If you’re a beginner, just show up at one of the Adult Ballet Beg classes.
As for the outfit, ballet slippers are higly recommended. You can go to The Dance Store on Robertson Boulevard or to Shelly’s on Westwood Boulevard and buy a pair of slippers for about $20.
As for the rest of the body, for the first time you can just wear comfortable clothes for yoga or the gym, unless you already want to go for tights and leotard 
.
Hope to see you around soon!

I have a 14-year-old who wants to start ballet–she’s had no dance training. She has started in the Adults ballet beg/basics class on Sundays. Is there a Saturday class she can take? She doesn’t mind being with younger students. Weekdays are out due to school.
Thanks

Hi Cathy!
For your daughter we’d suggest to try the following classes on Saturday with Benedicte (starting September 12th) and see what works best for her:
11.15 am – 12.15 pm Ballet 2 (age: 10 – 13)
12.30 am – 2 pm Ballet 3-4 (age: 11 – 15)
Until September 10th, she can still join the open level class on Saturday:
11.30 am – 1 pm Ballet Open Level (age: 11 – 14)
Thank you!

Thanks

I’ve noticed that your currently listed schedule is not exact and the Flamenco class on Thursdays begins a half hour earlier.
What time does the Saturday Flamenco class start and are beginners welcome?
Thanks
September 9, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Thank you Karen. I’ll have the teacher contact you asap. Best, Liliana

Hi Liliana,
I am very interested in taking one of your beginner salsa classes. I have taken a salsa class before, but it has been a few years and I need a good refresher. Do the classes have a specific start date or can I come to any of the classes? Are Latin dance shoes required? And do I need a partner?
Thanks!
September 12, 2011 at 4:03 am
Hi Athena!
Please contact the teacher Cristian Oviedo at 323.217.6360.
The schedule should be as listed but please, confirm with him.
He’ll advice you about the shoes as well.
Thanks!

Hello,
I grew up taking ballet for 13 years, and would love to get back to it!
It’s been 11 years since taking regular dance classes. I’m not sure whether to start with beginning ballet or the beg/int class?
Thanks!
Jenny

Hi Jenny!
Thanks for your interest in our ballet classes.
I’m sure both Beg and Beg/Int are good for you to get back in your ballet shape!
Looking forward to seeing you at the studio!

Hi Carmen!
Thanks for asking.
You can just show up at the beginner class with the proper shoes. If you don’t have the shoes, please contact the teacher for more info.

Is this the current schedule? I am interested in adult ballet folklorico.
March 12, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Hi Sara.
Yes, this is a current schedule but we have no ballet folklorico. We have ballet and folklorico and they are separate classes.
Have fun!
March 21, 2012 at 12:16 am
Hi,
Is it possible to just drop in and try a class, or do you have to schedule ahead of time? I’m like a poster above– had dozens of years of ballet, but haven’t been in class in over 10 years. Thanks.
March 21, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Thanks. Is the adult Tuesday folklorico class still offered? One website has the class listed and other one does not.
March 21, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Hi Sara,
on our schedule I see Baile Folklorico only on Sunday. For more info you can contact the teacher directly. Teachers’ contacts are under the Teachers page.
Thanks!

Hi, I am really interested in learning Flamenco. I am a complete beginner and I dont know if I can join for the beginner level? What should I bring with me for the first class? Like the shoes, skirts, or any dress code? Also I tried to contact the teachers,but still havent heard back from them. HELP. 
April 17, 2012 at 5:42 am
Hi, thanks for your interest in Flamenco.
The Flamenco teachers only can answer your question. I hope they’ll get back to you soon. Sorry they haven’t yet.
In the meantime I’ll let the owner of the studio know you need to be contacted asap.
Thanks!
May 15, 2012 at 4:32 am
I would like to know if you offer a beginning ballet class that is strictly for adults? Thank you for your assistance. It’s VERY difficult to find classes that are ONLY for adults.
Best wishes and gratitude always,
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for your interest.
All the ballet classes under Adults Schedule are for adults, including the ones for beginners.

Is the ballet basics class even more introductory than the beginner ballet class? What’s the difference between the two?
Any insight you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

We might have it later though; so please check back.

Hi Irene, thanks for your interest.
Adult Ballet Classes are usually $15 per class and $130 for a package of 10 classes ($13 per class).

Hi Liliana – My name is Elyse and I am really interested in taking beginning adult ballet classes! I read an old message from your blog above that suggests just showing up to one of the beginning classes with some ballet shoes and gym clothes….is that still the way?? Thanks!
January 2, 2013 at 11:23 pm
Yes, Elyse! Of course, if you have a ballet outfit you can totally wear it but, for beginners, ballet slippers and gym clothes are recommended. All beginning classes are great for everybody and sometimes I take Benedicte’s Monday morning class at 10 am myself. Hope to see you there!
January 24, 2013 at 3:50 am

Are adults allowed to attend Shiva’s Tuesday 6-7 PM beginning ballet classes, or is that for teens only? Thank you.

Hi Stephie,
