From the reviews
From the moment I came in to Bravo Theater with my 6yo daughter, I was entranced. I sat in on a trial class, watching the way the artistic director, adult actors, older kids and youngest kids all worked together. I was absolutely captivated.
From the owner to the staff, they have managed to create an environment that focuses on individual strengths and achieves group success. The productions showcase professionalism and entertainment. Costumes and choreography catch your eye. I was really amazed at the first production I attended. Highly recommended.
Our daughter has been attending Bravo theater for the second season now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, the director, the teachers made her feel welcome and encouraged.
This children’s theater has been such a wonderful experience for us. My son gets to be part of the shows, and it’s amazing to see how much confidence and joy it brings him. He absolutely loves being on stage, and I love watching him grow and shine.
Your first ballet class at Bravo Theater
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.
