From the reviews

We love Ms. Leeza and Bella Ballerina! Everything is so age appropriate and healthy for children. I enjoy that we start every lesson by reading a story and end each lesson with a fun game or adorable princess dress up. Ms. Leeza is incredible with the girls.

★★★★★ — Jacqueline, Feb 2024

We switched to Bella Ballerina in August. Our daughter learned MORE in ONE lesson with Ms. Cameron than she learned in a whole year at her previous studio! Ms. Cameron is AMAZING with all of the littles different personalities!!!

★★★★★ — Kaitlin, Dec 2024

We like Bella Ballerina CHA studio so much! My 3-year-old daughter has been attending classes for a few months now, and it has been such a wonderful experience. The teachers are incredibly patient, warm, and nurturing, making each class fun and engaging for the little ones.

★★★★★ — Cindy, Dec 2024

My daughter has been attending classes for 5 months and we just signed up for a year package. I appreciate the instructor's understanding that most toddlers/preschoolers learn by watching for a number of weeks before they begin practicing the moves at home until they're comfortable enough to dance along in the studio.

Your first ballet class at Bella Ballerina Chattanooga

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.
