From the reviews

This place is tiny! The owner is very nice and the other instructors are lovely, caring people as well. We did a Mommy and me type class. My daughter is 2.5. She loved it. There was only one other Mommy and her young girl. The owner is the instructor and had a couple other gals she was training.

★★★★☆ — Beth, Mar 2022

Our 5 kids have danced here for 12 years. Utmost professionalism and dance excellence. Every instructor cares deeply for the students. Dance Bochette is a family.

★★★★★ — Justin, May 2023

Daughter has been going to Dance Bochette for several years and loves it. She has learned so much and grown as a dancer.

★★★★★ — David, Dec 2021

Studio Bochette is outstanding. I taught there years ago, and always had great respect for the accomplished Founder, Jean, and her immensely talented daughter, Alyce! I also had the privilege of meeting and working with the very gifted Jill Guenther at Ballet Workshops.

Your first ballet class at Dance Bochette

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
