I danced at The Ballet School as a teenager getting into ballet again. They helped me achieve my goal and get en pointe. They also allowed me to take the beginning point classes even though I was so much older than the kids in them. Ill always be thankful to them for letting me achieve my goals even though it wasnt the conventional ballet way.Since COVID-19 lockdowns started Ive been able to take virtual classes at home with them from a different state! Its been such a grounding way to get back into dance and TBS is so welcoming and so kind to all.I whole heartedly recommend taking classes, especially if youre on a journey and nervous to start (you can do it!!).

This place is amazing!!! They offer not only wonderful classes of youth, but also a terrific Adult program also. Others try to mimic this style of teaching. This is the original! The location is new, but the discipline and teaching is just as amazing as it was at the old location. Stop by! It is worth the trip.

Ive been going to The Ballet School since I was a kid. Now that Im an adult Ive been going to the drop in classes when I can to keep in shape. I really appreciate that the classes are drop in instead you having to sign up on a schedule, so if I cant make it to a class Im not wasting my money. They have classes for all levels which I also really appreciate. The new studio is a huge upgrade from the old one. They have large studios, brand new flooring, and working AC. I love the staff here theyre super welcoming and helpful. Highly reccomend for both those who have never done ballet before and wanna try and those who have been taking for years.

I have been coming to the ballet school since I was in middle school and attended the drop in teen/adult classes. I took an 8 year “hiatus” while in college and after, however I got sick of going to the gym and missed my old dancing life. It took me about a year to convince myself to come back (to be honest, I was scared to go back after stopping for so long) and I am SO glad I did. The staff is so welcoming, and helps you gain or regain your confidence with patience, kindness, and coaching.For anyone looking to start dancing, as toddler to an adult, or looking for a studio to continue to grow your skills, I HIGHLY recommended coming to the ballet school. Their approach to teaching is filled with positivity and encouragement, and I plan on being a student here for years to come.

This is the best ballet school in the Bay, with classes for children and great adult drop-in offerings too. Thanks TBS! ;)

We absolutely love The Ballet School! I didn’t had the pleasure to meet Lareen Fender but I can feel her legacy through the love and care her granddaughters continue to do at this lovely school. We’ve always felt very welcomed here and we can’t imagine going anywhere else. My daughter has loved all her teachers and her little pals, she’s even met one of her most precious little friend here.

I love The Ballet School with all of my heart. My experiences there have been wonderful, so much so that The Ballet School is the first and last place I go when visiting home from college.The staff there is wonderful and models kindness, optimism, professionalism, and dedication for their students. It is hard to not be inspired by everyone there. In classes, teachers consistently talk about how to healthily work on improving in exercises, flexibility, and more.Other than the incredible classes and teachers, I have also made lifelong friends there that I would not have without taking amazing drop-in classes. We look forward to going every week.I would not be the hardworking, passionate person I am today without The Ballet School and its staff.

I love the ballet school. its a great place to start you childeren at for dance.!!!!!!!!!!
