Adult Ballet Is Surging by Leaps and Bounds

Lindsay Martell for Pointe

Allison DeBona gently holds the leg and lower back of an adult female ballet student as she practices a développé devant in effacé in the center of a dance studio. DeBona wears a green tank top, ballet skirt, and leggings and ballet slippers and looks toward the student, who looks up toward her lifted right arm with a smile. The student wears a black leotard, long pink skirt, footless pink tights and ballet slippers. Behind them, other dancers stand along the studio's floor-to-ceiling windows and watch.
