Adult Ballet
Summer — Fall Session
(aka, “Sall Sesh”)
July 28 — Oct 8
At eleVe ballet, we are not your typical “dance studio” (hence our dance, different motto). eleVe strives to be a safe, sanctuary-like space that supports and adapts to every body’s needs through the fine art of ballet. The divine beauty of ballet is the what we aim for—one of the main goals of class, but ballet is much more than an image. We use dance as a metaphorical tool to shape ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is no “competition” among peers in the soulwork each dancer is faced with at the barre. We are the only ones standing in our way. V’s instruction is mentorship-oriented, seeking to help her dancers unlock their own capacities for mastery, despite discomfort. At eleVe, you and your personal story you bring into the studio will be seen, valued, and safe to grow.
Though we dance together “as one” (yay communal energy!) eleVe ballet respects where each individual is on their dance journey, whether new, a vet, or someone who is returning after decades away. We value ballet, but more so the ballet dancer. Every one of our dancers and their individual potentials and expressions are lifted up—honored. No matter your background or shape, V views everyone the same: a beautiful dancer who has shown up at the studio, ready to be taught. There is no greater gift to a teacher. See what our current adult dancers have to say about their eleVe experience at the bottom of our homepage.

A slower-paced class to better process our session spotlight & master our movement through the art & story of dance! *Please confirm with V before signing up if you’re new to eleVe to ensure this intensive class is a good fit for you :) SUB-INTO SEMI-PRIVATE HERE
Adult Boutique Beginner Ballet (custom class by appointment)
Available as privates, semi-privates, or small studio classes (up to 4 dancers). Have you always wanted to take ballet but never had the chance? Or did you take it so long ago or for such a short time that you feel like a beginner dancer again? These small studio classes are for you. Custom-packaging, scheduling, & pricing are based on amount of dancers (up to 4 max), availability, and needs. Other than eleVe’s “company cuties,” which her 4-year old son is adorably a part of, adults are V’s favorite group of dancers to instruct. Come and experience our beautifully curated studio that feels like a sanctuary as you introduce (or reintroduce!) yourself to the fine art & narrative power of classical ballet. Customize a class with V today!
Somatic & Mat Classes | Dance as Detox (custom class by appointment)
If you’re looking to supplement your ballet training with a slower-paced strength + stretch or to learn new ways to enjoy the narrative art of dance by moving to music in a new way, these somatic classes are great for you! Also highly recommended (& designed) for V’s co-survivors of breast cancer or anyone who has been through trauma and wants to learn how to “let go” in order to access greater control, capacity, cadence, and creativity in their movement: harnessing our gaps, pains, and weaknesses to build strength.
