Start Your Journey or Strengthen Your Skills: Adult Ballet for Every Beginner

Step into the studio and find your rhythm! Beginner Adult Ballet: Building Blocks is a welcoming space designed for both brand-new students and those returning to the barre. This session focuses on the essential elements of dance—posture, alignment, and core stability—while introducing the fluid movements and musicality that make ballet so rewarding.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to move with more intention and grace, this workshop bridges the gap between simple positions and dynamic movement. It is a mindful, low-impact practice that prioritizes balance and bone health, making it an ideal choice for any active adult. Join our supportive community to build your confidence, improve your strength, and discover the poise that ballet brings to everyday life.

When: Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:00 PM | March 11 – April 15

Who: Ages 16+ | New beginners welcome! Perfect for first-time dancers and returning students.

Cost: $85 for the full session.

🌱 Grow Crazy! MountainTrue’s ONLINE Spring Native Plant Sale is coming soon—mark your calendar so you can dig in before your top picks vanish! The online sale opens at 9 am on March 1st. Sign up to be notified when the sale goes live.

From native trees and shrubs to pollinator-friendly blooms and wildlife-loving plants, we’ve got the goodies your garden (and the critters) will love. All plants come from our friends at Carolina Native Nursery, grown with care just for you.

Orders will be accepted from March 1st through March 31st, while supplies last. You must pay for the order at the time you submit it in order to secure your species and size of choice. Then, pick up your order in Asheville, NC at Oteen Baptist Church on Tuesday, April 14th, between 3 pm and 6 pm.

Orders MUST be picked up on Tuesday, April 14th unless, due to exceptional circumstances, other arrangements are made PRIOR to placing the order by contacting amy@mountaintrue.org.

Native shrubs and perennials are a vital component of healthy streams and lakes. They help prevent erosion, filter pollution from runoff, and provide food and shelter for wildlife. MountainTrue staff and volunteers spend significant time and resources removing nonnative invasive plants along streams and lake shorelines to protect water quality and ensure that the native vegetation stays healthy.

Plants that are found here inspire a “sense of place” and pride in our mountain communities and promote wise stewardship and conservation of natural resources.
