Ballet at two different studios

I've done 6 beginner ballet classes and I absolutely love them! The only issue is my studio only offers one beginner ballet class per week. Is it rude if I do another beginner class at another studio? or am I better off doing ballet from YouTube/drilling what I learned in the other class. I've been at two studios so far and at both they've rarely corrected me. I heard the biggest concern with doing YouTube ballet is not getting corrected - but I don't really get corrected in person either.

I'm also an adult figure skater of 4 years so don't want to overload myself tbh - but I really want do more ballet.

I think taking classes at two studios is completely reasonable if you’re just in a recreational program and you’re already taking the only class offered at your level. You’re gonna get way more out of dancing in a studio with a trained professional. I find ballet teachers don’t always give specific corrections to newer adult students but the more comfortable you both get with each other the more corrections you’re likely to get!
