From the reviews
My daughter has attended this school Since she was a toddler at Bella ballet! She has loved every class with every instructor year after year. Ms. Hope has created a beautiful environment full of empowerment, fun & dance! Every class we are welcomed & leave with a smile!! Best dance school in MOCO by far !
Bella Ballet has been such a wonderful experience for my daughter. She has been going since she was 2 years old in the Dancing Duos classes, and I truly loved being able to share that special time dancing alongside her. She loves her friends and the amazing staff who make Bella Ballet feel like her home away from home.
We've been taking our daughters to Bella since they were 2, and they've loved every minute of it. The environment is unique in how wonderfully nurturing and supportive they are to all their students. All of the teachers embody the spirit and mission of the school and know how to make kids feel special.
My daughter has been attending Bella Ballet for four years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The instructors and all the staff are kind, patient, and create a supportive environment where the girls can grow in both skill and confidence.
Your first ballet class at Bella Ballet
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.
