From the reviews
I love the ballet box! I danced there for 8 years and I loved all of them. They have so many variations of classes that even boys can do. The teachers are amazing and work with you until you understand something. I love it so much!!!!!
The Ballet Box is my daughters’ second home. Miss Kelly builds the most beautiful community. I cry almost every year at recital watching the dancers pour their hearts out on stage through dance. Also, I love that the big girls help the little girls!
The ballet box is a fantastic studio! My daughter is in her third year here and we just love it. All of her teacher’s have been so caring, positive, fun and encouraging. The owner, Kelly, is the sweetest and most kind person too. She is extremely talented with what she does and the studio she runs.
The Ballet Box was one of the best and most memorable experiences for my daughter. Miss Kelly is amazing with the children. They are all made to feel like stars. The performances are wonderful and so impressive. Well done.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Box
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
