Want a big facility with a big variety to choose from? Mark Morris (in Brooklyn), Gibney (in Manhattan), and Alvin Ailey (in Manhattan) are all fantastic studios and probably the most beginner-friendly of all the big studio options out there. Our members keep coming back because of the welcoming atmosphere, the combo of structure and freedom in the classes, and the option to work on dances over time - and even get on stage with them!Īre you looking for adult beginner dance classes in NYC + Brooklyn?Ĭheck out this list for some ideas to best fit who you are: Today, our adult beginner (and returning) dance classes are still thriving. Years later, I created Dance Again, because I started to meet others who were also wanting to get back into dance in an approachable way that emphasized collaboration and self-expression. Not to mention, so many of them focus on cardio and fitness, and sometimes (ok most of the time) I don’t want to do cardio for an hour… I just miss the feeling of 5-6-7-8!… learning a dance for the fun, creativity, and self-expression of it.Īll of those reasons led me to start dancing alone in my room (because, hey, sometimes your teddy bear is the only audience you want). There seem to be so many adult beginner dance classes in NYC, yet not many of them seem approachable when you are feeling out of practice - and out of shape. You see, I had quit ballet when I was 19 years old, and fast forward to age 26… I felt way too intimidated to show up to a place like Broadway Dance Center. These were EXACTLY the questions that I was asking myself (and Google) 10 years ago when I first wanted to return to dance.
