From the reviews

Amazing teacher, Ms. Nathalie is superb. BCW is always warm and friendly. Just the right balance of serious and fun.

★★★★★ — David, Nov 2015

My daughter is loving it and I am loving the quality of the teachers and atmosphere. Ms. Natalie is wonderful at teaching technique in a way that the children can understand. She makes it fun but she is also tough. Highly recommend.

Your first ballet class at Ballet Conservatory West

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.
