From the reviews
We love Bella Ballerina! The classes are run exceptionally well; balancing fun and teaching for toddlers. Not an easy feat! My daughter’s instructor, Ms. Z, is amazingly talented at her job as well. She has boundless energy and clearly finds joy in what she does!
The teachers love what they do and make it exciting for the dancers . Best place for beginners. I’m glad to have my daughter apart of Bella Ballerina.
Birthday Party Blast! We’ll do it again. Our daughters birthday party was easy and FUN. We did a Hip Hop class and Lauren was a wonderful instructor teaching them the moves and playing games. Our daughter felt super special.
I didn't know how Ms. Ava does it but she is able to make a bunch of kids listen and do amazing things. Such a fun class to watch.
Your first ballet class at Bella Ballerina Kingstowne
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.
