No One-Size-Fits-All Technique
​
At Cadenza, ballet isn’t just a class—it’s a joyful journey of passion, purpose, and endless possibility.​
CB offers elite classical training focusing on the individual needs of our students. Our focus is on cultivating a love and appreciation of the art form, and how adult students can dance healthy and safely by making the technique work for them. As such, our class sizes are smaller and we welcome questions and discussions in our classes.
COMMUNITY
More than just a dance school and classes, Cadenza is a community of like-minded adults pursuing a dream and a passion. We are network of amazing humans amplifying, encouraging, and connecting with one another in a judgment free, sacred space.
ABOUT CADENZA
Founded in July 2024 by Leigh Grant, Cadenza Ballet is the culmination of years of listening to the wants and needs of adult ballet dancers, and its programs designed to make ballet technique accessible and create pathways to common goals of adult ballet dancers that were missing in many programs. As a dancer who returned to ballet as an adult herself, Leigh truly appreciates all the challenges and obstacles adults face in trying to pursue ballet, as well as all the emotional and physical hurdles adult students face when confronted with a physically demanding technique.
​
Having trained in her youth as an elite pre-professional student, Leigh has been able to compare pre-professional training with adult ballet classes, and noticed several gaps that hinder an adult ballet dancer's ability to both progress and dance healthy and safely.
​
She knows what the pros know: that to master ballet technique, one must know how to make the technique work for them, not how to make them work for the technique. Cadenza Ballet embodies the knowledge that "every body is a ballet body".
​
While many adult ballet programs give their students a class, Leigh is focused on providing students with explanations to make esoteric technique accessible through a variety of modalities.
A life-long learner, Leigh is dedicated to continued research in Dance Science & Medicine, and continues to refine both her curriculum, corrections, and program to meet the needs of her students.
Cadenza Ballet is nothing short of a love letter to her fellow adult ballet students, to provide them with the best ballet has to offer them.
