Ellie Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My Uncle (who is 60 + and sadly a recent widower) has never danced in his life, but he loves ballet and dance in general. Can anyone in the US recommend adult classes/workshops or touring companies that cover the Gridley, California area ? Thank you. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Gridley, CA, is a small town located near Cal State Chico to the north and Cal State Sacramento to the south. Both have dance programs with beginning ballet classes. Many California State University campuses have a generous program allowing anyone over 60 to enroll in classes for a modest ($3) registration fee. I suggest he get in touch with either of those departments by e-mail to see what he might do. It's a safe bet that those dance programs have (at a minimum) student recitals now and then. http://catalog.csuchico.edu/viewer/13/THEA/MTHDNONEUM.html http://www.csus.edu/dram/ But the best option seems to be the Sacramento Ballet, both for performances and some open adult beginner classes at their school: http://www.sacballet.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeliB Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 also would advise you ask on the USA ballet forum http://dancers.invisionzone.com/ or at least have a look round it- you may glean useful info there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
