Adult Classes for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026!
Adult Open Classes
Acton School of Ballet’s Adult Open Ballet Program offers teens and adults an enjoyable, non-competitive environment to study ballet at any time without advanced registration.
Students are required to have a foundation of ballet vocabulary and technique for the Adult Open Intermediate/Advanced Ballet that meets on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays at 10:30 am.
Starting this Fall, we are introducing an Adult Open Beginning/Intermediate Ballet class that meets on Fridays at 10:00 am, as well as an Adult Open Contemporary class that meets at 11:15 am. No experience is necessary for either Friday class and will be taught by faculty member, Eileen Mancini.

Class Attire
Adult classes feature casual attire and a non-competitive environment. Students attending adult classes should wear attire appropriate to the class, either a leotard or leggings, but there are no fixed requirements for color. We recommend the Bloch 258 or 203 ballet slipper for adult ballet students, or one of the many styles of canvas technique shoes.
