Adult open classes are intended for students ages 13 and over.  This includes intermediate and advanced drop-in classes and enrollment sequences for beginner students.  Princeton Ballet School offers open adult classes in the following disciplines: Ballet, Modern, World Dance, Hip-Hop, Pilates, Stetch and Strength, and more.

We have a long history and a strong track record of providing high-quality dance instruction to adult students. Many of our adult students have told us that other ballet schools seem to only offer a couple of classes for adults as an after-thought, with teachers who are not really interested in training adults. But Princeton Ballet School has over 50 classes weekly specifically for adult students, in seven different types of dance, plus Pilates. These classes are led by knowledgeable, charismatic and caring teachers who are here to help you explore new types of dance safely, improve your technique, and have a great time, too.

Who else will you find in your class? People of all ages from 13 to 70 plus. Most of our dancers are adults from all walks of life, who enjoy dance class as their life sport. Some are retired dancers or local dance teachers from other studios and colleges, who take class to keep up their skills and strength. We also have many dancers who are students at Rider University, as we provide the studio classes for the degree in Fine Arts with a dance specialization offered by Rider. We extend a warm welcome to all, and have many different levels of class to accommodate dancers of all skill levels.

Ballet and modern dance classes are accompanied by one of our staff of a dozen highly-skilled accompanists.

You can participate in these classes in three different ways, depending on the amount of background you have:

1. BEGINNERS for all dance forms follow a special calendar and payment schedule.  First Week gives new students the option to try any beginner dance class for $18.  Save your receipt- if you decide to register, your payment will be applied to the 8-week tuition.
2. INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED DANCERS — may purchase single classes for any type of dance at any time.
3. INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED DANCERS — may also purchase dance cards to get a reduced rate by buying in bulk. There are also specially priced dance cards for college students, and special rates for professional dancers.
4. PROFESSIONALS - working professional dancers or dance teachers can purchase Dance Cards at a special rate.  Please speak to Cindy Mahoney at the Princeton studio to discuss procedures for receiving this special rate.
