It’s never too late to learn to dance! Our adult classes are accompanied by live music and are offered from beginner to intermediate level.
These classes are a great way to socialise, keep fit and improve posture and flexibility.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have previous ballet experience, we have a class tailored especially for you. These weekly classes will improve your fitness, technique, flexibility and posture.
All adult classes take place at our headquarters: Northern Ballet, St Cecelia Street, Leeds, LS2 7PA, unless otherwise specified.
