Halestone Dance Studio is excited to offer the following adult classes! Occasionally our offerings get ahead of updating our website… although we try to be punctual. The best way to know for sure something is happening is to contact us at director@halestone.com. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram for the most up to date information.
Halestone Adult Ensemble
Halestone’s Adult Ensemble will explore movement and the creative process through teacher led warm-ups, guided improvisations, some modern dance phrase work, and opportunities to participate in the creation and performance of original choreography. Participants can expect units on Viewpoints and contact improvisation, as well as performances at community events.
Adult Ensemble is open to all interested dancers 18 years of age and older. No prior dance experience is necessary. Dancers must simply have an interest in exploring the creative process through movement and their bodies and be willing to try new things. While performing is not required, Halestone’s Adult Ensemble will be included in many Halestone and community performances. Members of Adult Ensemble who do not wish to perform can opt out of any performance.
For more information on our Company Programs, visit our Company Page.
Adult Ensemble will meet weekly on Thursday from 7:00-8:30 pm.
$450 for a full year, $50 per month

Private and Semi-Private classes with Halestone instructors (Ballet, Tap and more)
Private and Semi-Private Lessons Type I
For the 2022-2023 Dance Year Halestone will be offering the following regularly scheduled semi-private lessons. (For all other private and semi-private class policies and rates, see below under Type II). These classes have a separate tuition from our other classes because they are smaller and offer students more individualized attention. (In cases where any of these classes reach an enrollment of 5 students or more we will reconsider tuition rates.) These classes will end instruction following our spring 2023 concert (as opposed to our other year-long classes which will end on May 20th, 2023.)
Pointe, Wednesday 8:00pm- 9:00pm with Evelyn Warren
Private and Semi-Private Lessons Type II
Halestone has the ability to offer private and semi-private lessons for a variety of styles and levels. These classes can be started and stopped at any point throughout the year and have higher tuition rates due to the individualized instruction and the administrative costs associated with managing classes. For these classes students’ tuition is based on the length of the class and the number of students present for each lesson. We have a cancellation policy of at least 24 hour hours or you will be charged for the lesson even if you do not show up. To cancel please call or email the instructor of your class at least 24 hours in advance.
