NEW! 8 Week Fall Adult Beginner Ballet Session
October 29 – December 17, 2026 (8 weeks)
Register now for our new Adult Beginner Ballet fall session class! Classes will run Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm with Ms. Alaura Dudley.
Learn ballet basics, improve posture, strength, poise, and balance. Have fun learning something new or brushing up on your existing skills! At Bend Academy we offer quality instruction in a fun and encouraging environment. Come and dance with us this fall!
| Class | Day & Time | Session Cost |
| Adult Beginner Ballet (ages 18+) | Thursday 6:30-7:30pm | $160 + GST |
$35 annual registration fee waived for anyone who is already enrolled in another adult class with us or has a child already currently enrolled at Bend! Please email if this is you so we can manually waive your registration fee!
Dress Code: Flexible fitted clothing – you’re welcome to go full ballet mode and rock a leotard and tights or opt for athleticwear instead! Please wear long hair tied back. Ballet slippers preferred but socks will work too for those just starting and not sure about purchasing shoes yet.
Session-based classes offer a fantastic opportunity to try something new as a shorter commitment. They’re a great way to try something new and see if you like it before signing up for a longer term class.
We are hoping to offer more adult classes later this season and into next but need to make sure there’s enough interest! We’re putting this ballet class out as a feeler to see what interest is like for more future adult classes and give adults a chance to try ballet as a session-based class. Sign up if you want to see increased adult classes on our schedule!
If you are looking for a full season class (September-June) please see our CLASSES page. We have Adult Tap and Adult Aerial classes offered as full season options.
Fall 2026 Session
September 14 – December 20, 2026 (14 weeks)
Registration for the fall session opens May 19 at 9:00am!
Session-based classes offer a fantastic opportunity for a shorter commitment without a recital performance. They’re a great way to try something new and see if your child likes it before signing up for a longer term class. Scroll down to see our offerings!
In September we tend to see heightened demand for full season classes that run September-June so our session-based class offerings are more limited. There may be more session-based class options available into the winter and spring depending on how busy our full season classes are. Our fall session classes are great for newer students looking to test things out or novice students still working on perfecting their basics, for students who are working at a more intermediate or advanced level we recommend our full season programs.
If you are looking for a full season class (September-June) please see our CLASSES page.

Class Descriptions:
Acro & Aerial
Live out your circus dreams in our Acro & Aerial combo classes! Students will learn fundamentals of acro, aerial silks, and aerial hoop skills. Each class is a 50/50 split of acro and either aerial silks or aerial hoop. Flexibility, body awareness, strength, and acro skills learned on the ground will help students safely progress in their aerial training. Students will develop strength, control, coordination, and confidence in this class!
Levels: Level 1 is inclusive to new beginner students but also an option to those who may have already taken a session of Level 1 and want to continue building their basic skills. Level 2 may be offered in the winter and spring sessions.
Dress code: Please come dressed leggings and a bodysuit or fitted top. Bodysuits are best for going upside down as they stay securely in place. A fitted shirt can also work. Long hair is to be worn tied back. Please do not wear anything with zippers, clasps, or notions that could potentially snag on the aerial silks and damage them. No fake nails, jewelry of any kind or anything sharp that could damage the fabric.
Adult Rolling Registration Classes Starting Fall 2026
For adult classes instead of the usual session-based options we’re offering rolling registration! Rolling registration is an option we’re offering for our adult classes to accommodate work & life schedules. RR classes are ongoing full season classes that can be joined at any time throughout the season so as the student fits the level of the class and there is room available. Registration can be cancelled at any time with a minimum one month’s notice by email. This provides an option for adult students to essentially freeze their membership if there is a point in the season they cannot attend and resume when they are able. Rolling Registration classes do not participate in recitals. Rolling Registration is only available for select marked classes.
For pricing please visit the DATES & PRICING page. Rolling Registration classes are paid by automated monthly credit card payments on the first of the month.
| Class | Day & Time |
| Adult Tap 1 & 2 (beginner/intermediate) | Wednesday 8:30-9:30 |
| Adult Aerial Silks & Hoop 1 (beginner) | Tuesday 8:45-9:45 |
| Adult Aerial Silks & Hoop 2 (intermediate) | Thursday 8:30-9:30 |
| Adult Flexibility (beginner/intermediate) | Friday 12:30-1:15 |
All of the classes marked “SS” on the Full Season schedule are Seasonal Sessions. RR are the Adult Rolling Registration classes. The schedule is subject to change based on registration and demand.
