Cadenza Ballet is an adult ballet school where ballet meets passion, purpose, and possibility. We believe it’s never too late to start, return to, or deepen your love for ballet. Whether you're a complete beginner, a dancer rediscovering your passion, or a dancer continuing your training, we're here to support your journey with encouragement, expertise, and community.
CB provides accessible, affordable, high-quality ballet training in a supportive, inclusive, and judgment free space. We are committed to the development of our students, both as a person and a dancer. We build technique, artistry, confidence, and joy in learning ballet!
Workshops & Intensives
We currently do not have any workshops or intensives in the books. Please check back as we are planning fall sessions!

Ballet doesn't care what you look like, just that you can make the technique work for you and become the best dancer you can be!

WHY CHOOSE CADENZA?

-Are you worried about not being flexible enough, good enough, or having the right body to start or keep going with ballet?
-Have you taken adult ballet class, but the teacher made you feel bad about yourself: you either aren't "right" for ballet somehow, or you don't know French terminology, or you're not picking up moves fast enough?
-Are you taking classes, but feel frustrated that steps are not broken down so you can understand how to execute them correctly?
-Have you taken adult ballet classes, but feel you're not taken seriously?
-Have you been taking adult ballet classes, but feel you're not progressing?
Friend, We HEAR you!
Cadenza Ballet was created to eliminate these frustrations, provide adults with a welcoming and encouraging space to learn, and to TEACH ballet, not just give you a class. Our students are valued and seen as a person first. There are two things we know for certain:
1.) Ballet does not care what you look like, it just cares about how you can take the technique and make it work FOR YOU, so you can be the best dancer you can be, and that you LOVE it!
2.) Adult ballet students can become technical power houses and artistic virtuosos, all while building confidence AND having fun along the way!
Cadenza Ballet is here to support you on your ballet journey, whatever it may look like, in an environment that is free from harmful ballet practices and ideas.
Come join us for a class in our beautiful, sunny studio at Pomegranate Studios, and see just how much fun ballet can really be, while still learning, progressing AND being taken seriously!
Take The Leap.
