Marat Daukayev School of Ballet offers open classes for adults throughout the year, allowing dancers and dance enthusiasts the opportunity to study under Mr. Daukayev and MDSB’s esteemed faculty.
We offer beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes – all of which are open to everyone who would like to learn.
Teens interested in starting ballet for the first time are welcome to try our beginner adult classes too!
Class Fees
Individual classes are $30.00 (as of 5/19/25). You may also purchase class cards. Please be aware of our new class card pricing, effective 5/19/25:
$135.00 for 5-class series
$250.00 for 10-class series
