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.
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.

Aging Gracefully
Wednesdays | 11:30am-12:30pm | $49
Aging Gracefully is a vibrant, senior-friendly dance program designed to promote mobility, balance, strength, and overall well-being in a comfortable, supportive daytime environment. Over the course of four weeks, participants engage in gentle, adaptive exercises—both seated and supported standing—drawing inspiration from modern, ballet, and social dance styles. Each week builds on the last, allowing participants to steadily develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence. Dance movements help build strength, flexibility, posture, and coordination, while also reducing fall risk. Gentle aerobic activity promotes cardiovascular health and joint mobility, while stimulating mood-boosting endorphins. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive, encouraging self-expression, social connection, and a sense of community. No prior dance experience is required—just wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.
Aging Gracefully: Mobility | February 4-25
Aging Gracefully: Dance for Seniors | March 4-25
Aging Gracefully: Ballet | April 1-22
Aging Gracefully: Mobility | June 3-24
TAP-PY HOUR Workshop
In Tap-py Hour you will learn the basics of tap dance, experience different rhythms and throw in a little cardio just for good measure. Whether you have danced before or have always wanted to learn, you will be challenged in this class. If you don’t have tap shoes when the class starts, bring hard soled shoes (not sneakers) to dance in.
Tuesdays | 7:15pm-8:00pm | March 3-24 | $36
B.y.o. EVENTS
Each B.Y.O. class features a different theme, bringing fresh energy and style to every session.

what should i wear to class?
We keep it simple for our adult students. It is best to wear fitted clothing that won’t “ride up” when you are moving around. Yoga pants or sweats and tanks or t-shirts are perfect. Women should wear hair secured in a pony tail. For ballet classes, we recommend you purchase ballet shoes (we have some available at the studio). For Wedding Dance Workshop and B.Y.O. Broadway, sneakers are acceptable. We ask that your shoes have not recently been worn outdoors if you plan to wear them for dance class.
can an absolute beginner take adult classes?
Absolutely! Most of our adult students are beginners. These classes are designed to be fun and educational for our adult students. No previous dance experience is needed to participate.

“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)
