From the reviews

Both of my daughters take dance there and they love it. The children learn so many skills. The setting is fun and relaxed and lots of dancers there have danced from a child to high school. One of my daughters also takes piano there. All in all, this is an amazing studio for children of all ages.

★★★★★ — Jeffrey, Aug 2016

I’ve been a student here since I was 4 years old. I’ve always loved how ballet is taught classically yet still having a laid back environment. The teachers enjoy what they do which makes it all the difference.

★★★★★ — Kathryn, Dec 2021

All 3 of my girls have danced at the Ballet Conservatory. All of the instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The performances are always well organized and lovely. The Nutcracker is the event my girls look forward to being a part of every year. Would highly recommend Ballet Conservatory for any dancer.

★★★★★ — Jen, Aug 2021

We love Ms. Poppell. Both my girls have found a love for Dance that will stick with them for life because of her and this studio.

Your first ballet class at Ballet Conservatory Bluewater

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
