Hi,
I was interested in taking some adult classes. I see the schedule posted online. but as just wondering if I need to preregister, or if the classes are just on a drop in bases.
Thank you,
Nayla

Hi I will be in Santa Monica this summer, and I was wondering if you would be having a different schedule for the summer or if the adult classes will be around the same times!
March 14, 2011 at 5:39 am
Hello Emily! Thanks for your comment. So far the schedule for the summer will remain the same as now. But, please, look at it again before showing up in class and feel free to contact us again closer to the date you arrive. Hope to see you soon!

Hi…
I want to do something fun with my grandma Esther but before I sign up is it going to be a problem If she speaks almost no English? Her first language is Spanish and we were thinking of taking salsa or flamenco… Any recommendations?
Also, when do classes begin?
Thanks for the reply 
March 29, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Hi Johanna, ola!
All classes are already on. I suggest to give a call to the teacher of the class you want to take your grandma to in advance, for the first time. The phone number of each teacher is under Teachers.
Celina (Flamenco) and Cristian (Salsa) speak Spanish. Furthermore, dance is mostly about movements you can observe and repeat.
Celina is now being replace for a few weeks by a female teacher who studied in Spain as well, so I presume her Spanish is good!
Hope to see you soon at the studio.

Hi!
I live near the studio and am SO interested in taking Flamenco classes. I have some dance background- from college, twenty years ago. Issue is that I am only “kid free” on Wednesday evenings or sometimes Mondays. Any chance of Flamenco class for a beginning Flamenco dancer (who has a lot of rhythm and coordination) on one of those nights? I am so eager to start! Thank you!

Hi Maggie! Thanks for contacting us!
Right now Celina Zambon is in Buenos Aires for a couple of months playing the leading role in a comedy.
The substitute teacher is Alexandra Rozo and I’d suggest to contact her directly at (818) 588 2377. She can answer your questions about what class is best for your level. Maybe Monday you can fit in!
Hope you’ll make it back to dancing soon Maggie!

Is there only Saturday classes for pre-ballet for the summer or have any additional days or times been added?
July 8, 2011 at 10:19 pm
Hello Kenna!
For the summer, Pre-Ballet is only on Saturdays.
As you can see, you’ll have more in the Fall-Winter session.
Hope to see you soon!

Hi,
I am wondering if I need to register my 3 year old daughter for the fall preballet classes or if those are drop in. We would initially like to try out one class and see how it goes.
Thanks so much,
Ana

Hi Ana,
thank you for your inquiry.
Your daughter can have a free trial class and see if she likes it.
You might register her after that.
Best,
Liliana

Hi Benedicte,
My 8-yr old daughter is interested in trying your Saturday class. Can we try the first Saturday of the Fall Session (9/17) as a drop-in class just to be sure? It sounds like a lovely environment.
Cheers!

My daughter is 6 years old. She took Tap and Ballet combo class (santa monica city program) for about 2 year ago. She said she wants to take a ballet class but I want to her to try first. I want to her to take a first “try” class but she doesn’t have ballet slippers. I don’t want to buy it after she take a first “try” class. Is that OK? Also when can she take a first “try” class?
April 10, 2013 at 12:55 am
Hi Yukari,
thanks for your interest.
You can take your daughter to the 10.15 am Ballet Class on Saturday morning. The Spring Session just starts this coming Saturday!
If she wants to keep attending, then we can give you a 10% discount coupon to apply to the slippers purchase either online or at the Dance Store.
Regards,
Liliana Isella

She doesn’t have leotard either. Is that OK to go on Staurday morning?
April 10, 2013 at 8:50 pm
In ballet the proper attitude and the proper attire for class are highly appreciated. Maybe you can simply ask your daughter in advance if she is willing to take ballet or not and go from there.
Best Regards,
Liliana

Hello,
I wanted to inquire about Adult beginner ballet classes. Do I need to register before, or can I just show up? What is appropriate clothing and footwear? Also, are you still located in Santa Monica? (A Yelp review indicated a move to the Pacific Palisades.)
Thanks very much,
Elisabeth

All adult classes are drop in, no pre registration necessary. There is no dress code for adult classes, but ballet slippers is good for ballet. You can wear anything you can move freely in.
Yes, we are located in Santa Monica, on 2621 Pico Blvd Unit K
Hope to see you in class – Benedicte
