From the reviews
I brought my daughter in last year. She was very shy and didn't like to talk or play with anyone. Ms.kim has really opened her up. Now she is dancing around, talking and playing, and she is excited about going to ballet every week. I had originally planned on going somewhere else. On a whim I called ms.
My daughter has danced at BDC 8 years. She absolutely love abd respect both Mrs. Mrs. Betsy and Mrs. Kim who is amazing at working with the lil ones. They just don't teach dance but BDC build Character, Confidence and Self Respect. Give BDC a try. I did and it was one of the best decision I made😊
Hands down best ballet and dance school in Burlington. The teachers are amazing and fantastic with my daughter. Couldn’t be happier!

Your first ballet class at Burlington Dance Center
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.
