Classes to fit your schedule

Northern Plains Dance’s Adult Classes are designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re building a weekly routine or just looking for a fun night out. With multiple ways to participate, it’s easy to make dance part of your life on your terms.

  • Choose a 6-class punch card for maximum flexibility and drop into the weekly ballet classes that fit your schedule.
  • Planning a first dance? Our 4-week Wedding Dance Workshops provide focused, supportive instruction to help you feel confident and comfortable on the floor.
  • Looking for something casual and social? B.Y.O. (Bring Your Own…) evenings are perfect for trying a new style, dancing with friends, or enjoying a single, no-commitment night of movement.
  • Want to build your social dance skills? Our Social Dance Series focuses on one dance style at a time, teaching basic footwork, timing, partner connection, and easy turns in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Upcoming styles include Salsa and Two-Step.

We also offer classes created specifically for different interests and stages of life.

  • Aging Gracefully (55+) focuses on mobility, balance, strength, and joyful movement in a supportive and welcoming environment.
  • For those brand new to dance—or returning after time away—Intro to Ballet (Recliners to Relevé) and Intro to Tap (Tap-py Hour) provide a friendly, low-pressure way to learn the fundamentals while building confidence and having fun.

Whether you’re dancing for fitness, creativity, connection, or pure joy, our adult classes welcome all experience levels and bodies. Come move with us, exactly as you are.

 RECLINERS TO RELEVE

Our month long workshop is for anyone who has ever wanted to learn ballet , but felt like they were too old, too inexperienced, or too out of shape, to step into the studio.  At NPD’s Recliners to Relevé Workshop, there are no teens wearing Taylor Swift t-shirts with their legs wrapped around their heads.  No intimidating crowded rooms where everyone already seems to know the warm-up.
Join us for four days of friendly, fun, informative dance training in a non-competitive environment geared towards adult learners.  The majority of our students range in age from early 30s to late 50s, but anyone 18 and older is welcome to attend.

 “I truly enjoy NPD’s adult classes. Not only are they a great form of movement and exercise, they are also inspiring and the instructors take time to break things down and explain in a way a person at any level can understand. I’m hooked – I keep coming back!”     – Ali (adult NPD student)
