About City Adult Ballet

City Adult Ballet brings classical ballet to grown-ups, running its classes from Jason Coleman's Ministry of Dance in North Melbourne. Founded by Jane Casson, the studio is built on the belief that it is never too late to start, or return, to ballet, and it has cultivated a reputation for being welcoming, patient and genuinely joyful.

What sets the studio apart is its inclusive, no-pressure culture. There are no body-type expectations, no required dancewear and no assumption of prior experience, just comfy clothes, a pair of socks and a willingness to learn. Members consistently describe an environment that is supportive and lively, where the teaching adapts to whoever is in the room on the day and where returning dancers feel instantly at home.

With offerings that span true beginners through to experienced dancers with two or more years of training, City Adult Ballet suits Melburnians chasing better posture, strength and flexibility, the artistry of classical technique, or simply a fun and uplifting way to move. It is a space where adults can pursue a long-held dream of dancing in a setting that is as nurturing as it is enriching.
