You don’t have to be a lifelong dancer to belong in ballet. And if you danced years ago, you don’t have to leave that part of yourself in the past.🩰

At Ballet U, our adult program welcomes complete beginners, returning dancers, and experienced adult dancers alike.

With 20+ weekly adult classes, there is plenty of room to find the right fit– and a community that believes adults deserve, thoughtful instruction, real technique, and the opportunity to keep growing.

Maybe it’s time to come back to the barre. Or maybe it’s time to try Ballet for the very first time.

Either way we’d love to have you.

Schedule your first class with us now!

Little dancers deserve a beautiful beginning. 🩰

Our 11-week Fall Session at Ballet U is designed especially for our youngest dancers, ages 2–5.

✨ Tiny Dancers | Ages 2–3
30-minute classes created for little bodies, short attention spans, and big imaginations.

✨ PreBallet 3 & 4 | Ages 3–5
45-minute classes introducing young dancers to ballet through thoughtful, age-appropriate movement, musicality, and a carefully developed curriculum.

Our teachers truly love working with little ones, and we strive to make their first experiences with dance both joyful and meaningful.

Begin Your Ballet Journey 🩰

Have you always wanted to learn ballet, but never had the opportunity? Or perhaps it’s something you’ve been curious about for years?

Our 10-Week Absolute Beginner Ballet session offers a thoughtful introduction to classical ballet in a welcoming, supportive environment.

Over the course of ten weeks, you’ll learn the foundations of ballet, including:

• Classical positions and terminology
• Posture, alignment and coordination
• Barre and introductory center work
• Port de bras, balance and musicality
• The fundamental principles of classical ballet technique

No previous experience is necessary. You do not need to be naturally flexible, coordinated, or “balletic.” We begin with the fundamentals and build from there.

Ballet is a practice that rewards patience and attention to detail. There is always more to learn—and no better time to begin than now.

Join us for 10 weeks and discover the pleasure of learning ballet.

Ballet U is a dance studio located in Verona, near Madison, WI, providing quality ballet instruction for children and adults, all levels. Home of the Verona Youth Ballet.
