Adult Ballet Class
Adult Ballet with Nicholas Mesa - $120 for all 12 week or $10 drop in
It's never too late to fall in love with ballet — or to fall in love with it all over again. This adult ballet class welcomes dancers of every background, from those stepping into a studio for the very first time to former dancers ready to return to the barre. Under the guidance of Mr. Nicholas Mesa, students will build strength, flexibility, and grace through the foundational vocabulary of classical ballet, including barre work, center exercises, and simple combinations across the floor.
Each class offers a supportive, judgment-free space to move, stretch, and reconnect with your body — no experience necessary, just a willingness to try. Whether you're looking for a new form of exercise, a creative outlet, or a lifelong dream finally within reach, this class is designed to meet you where you are.
Comfortable clothing and bare feet or ballet slippers are welcome

Piano Chord Lab (3rd - 8th Grade)
Piano Chord Lab is an eight-week group piano course designed for students in 3rd through 8th grade who already have basic piano experience and are ready to move beyond simply reading and performing written music. (At least 2 years of piano experience required.)
Students will learn how chords are constructed, how to read chord symbols, and how to use different accompaniment patterns to support a melody. These skills will be applied to familiar songs, lead sheets, and creative group activities.
By the end of the course, students will be able to create a simple piano accompaniment and make independent musical decisions — rather than relying entirely on fully written-out music.
Session Dates: October 23rd – December 18th
Day: Fridays
Time: 3:00–3:50pm
Location: 1101 Riverfront Dr., Fort Smith, AR 72901
