From the reviews

Our daughter has been attending classes at Bella Ballerina since she was 3 and has loved every second of it. She attends weekly dance class at their Kingstowne studio but has also been enrolled into Twirl Academy at their Burke studio for the past two years.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Mar 2025

Bella Ballerina has been a staple in my daughter's life for the last 5 years. She started as a 3 year old and is now on their dance team. Liz, Courtney, Caroline and Zee have been role models for my daughter to build confidence, let go, and push past limitations she previously perceived of herself.

★★★★★ — Bridget, Mar 2025

We have had nothing but a FABULOUS experience at this dance studio. They are perfectly designed for kiddos and even have princess dress up at the end. My daughter was in love, 10/10 a wonderful experience

Your first ballet class at Bella Ballerina Burke

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.
