Adult Classes
LIVING THROUGH MOVEMENT
Whether you’re new to the studio or deepening a lifelong passion, San Francisco Ballet offers welcoming programs for adults of all experience levels. From training and talks to inclusive community classes, discover meaningful ways to move, explore, and engage.
ADULT DANCE CLASSES
Taught by faculty from San Francisco Ballet and San Francisco Ballet School, our adult classes are more than a dynamic workout. Grounded in classical technique, these sessions build strength, deepen artistic appreciation, and move with joy – at every level.
DANCE CLASS FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON’S
Inspired by San Francisco Ballet’s repertory, these free weekly classes – offered both in studio and on Zoom – support individuals with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. Rooted in the joy of movement, classes nurture connection, coordination, and creativity in a supportive environment.

We encourage you to attend and complete as much of the class as you feel capable. If you need to sit out for the last combination or two, that’s fine.
Unfortunately, we do not allow class observations. We encourage you to try it out and see if you like it. You will have a much better understanding of the class if you are up and moving, rather than sitting and watching.
For the safety and consideration of all, studio doors will close five minutes after class begins.
