Welcome
At Dancing with Heidi, we offer ballet classes for children, teens, and adults
in an inviting and fun environment.
Ballet from the Beginning
This 12-week ballet series gently introduces adults and teens to the fundamentals of ballet, building strength, confidence, and vocabulary in a supportive environment, with the option to continue on to Basic Ballet or repeat the series.
Basic Ballet
Basic Ballet is a foundational class for adults and teens with prior ballet experience or who have completed Ballet from the Beginning, focusing on essential barre and simple center work to build strength, alignment, coordination, ballet vocabulary, healthy turnout, and expressive movement, while supporting each dancer’s individual anatomy and preparing them to progress safely toward Intermediate Ballet.
Mixed Level Ballet
Designed for seasoned dancers ready to refine their artistry and performance skills.
Children's Ballet I-III
As students progress, they expand ballet vocabulary and musicality, develop flexibility, alignment, turns, jumps, balance, and memorization skills, and increasingly express story and emotion through more complex barre and center combinations, with advanced students gaining pre-pointe preparation and additional performance opportunities.
Intermediate Ballet
Intermediate Ballet builds on Basic Ballet with a faster pace and more complex barre and center work, strengthening technique, coordination, musicality, and memorization through increased balances, pirouettes, jumps, and dynamic movement.
Pre-Pointe and Pointe
Pointe and Pre-Pointe are permission-only classes for students preparing for or already dancing on pointe, focusing on safely building the strength and readiness required for pointe work, with placement determined by individual development, additional ballet class requirements, and guidance on exercises and proper timing for purchasing pointe shoes.

What Our Students Say
Real experiences from our dedicated students.
I have been taking ballet lessons with Heidi since 2012, when I was in my 40’s. Heidi is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She always comes up with different ways to explain technical movements to those like me who did not learn ballet as a child. She has an eagle eye, and can spot what I am doing right, and what I am doing wrong. She makes learning fun!
Zilan Chen
Student since 2012
“I have been taking ballet with Heidi on and off for the past 15 years. Heidi’s all-inclusive and flexible approach allowed my husband and me the enjoyment of taking classes together, and it has encouraged me to continue with ballet into my retirement. Every class is fun, challenging and appropriate for my level, even as my abilities have changed over time.”
