From the reviews
Friendly, helpful staff, easy to park and close to building, great , cozy theater with fun decretive lights, there is no bad seat in the theater! Tasty cookies and water for intermission, fantastic performances, all dancers had such grace, poise and and smiles!
Absolutely fantastic school just amazing in every way. They are so nice. Always so helpful but mostly this is a very professional school. The recitals are wonderful. At other schools recitals were mostly to see your child perform but here almost all performances are wonderful.
This has been a wonderful place for my daughter to start dancing. We are in our third year here, and really couldn't be happier. The teachers are kind, but have control of the class. The kiddos learn about movement, and how to pay attention.
Ballet company performing classical ballets for audiences of all ages. Performs throughout the state as well as in their home theater, Bloomington Perf. Arts Center.
Your first ballet class at Continental Ballet Company
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.
