Adult Ballet

Love to dance

At The Odette School of Ballet we offer Adult Ballet classes that strive to create a fun, welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Many of our students are returning to ballet after some time off and others have danced consistently for years - although there is a big range of experience in the class, we are all there to dance, enjoy movement and progress in our own way. 

Dancing is a great way to exercise in an enjoyable way! Adult Ballet is a place where people can get lost in the music and the moment.

All teachers are registered ballet teachers with the Royal Academy of Dance. We provide a high-level of ballet training that is suitable to each individual dancer. Students will get the opportunity to develop classical ballet technique, increase strength and flexibility, build control and coordination, and increase their musicality and performance skills.

Our Adult Ballet class is held in the Baldoyle Community Hall on Wednesdays evenings from 7-8pm. Students over the age of 18 are welcome and some dance experience is advised.

We also offer Silver Swans ballet classes for those over the age of 55 - more details about our Silver Swans classes can be found here.
