From the reviews

My daughter has been with the ballet academy since age 3. After 12+ years with the studio, my family has always had a great experience with the staff. They have always been understanding and supportive.

★★★★★ — Jimmy, Aug 2023

KPBA has been a huge part of my life and has shaped me not only as a dancer but as a person as well. The staff and students are some of the kindest, most supportive people I have ever known. I’ve met some of my best friends here and I couldn’t recommend a better place for a young dancer to begin his/her career.

★★★★★ — Chloe, Jun 2021

I danced at KP Ballet for the past 13 years, starting in kindergarten and continuing through my senior year of high school. Over the years, KP Ballet truly became my second home. I met some of my best friends at the studio and am incredibly thankful for the lifelong friendships I made here.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Jul 2025

I could not be more thrilled with our KP Ballet experience! I have 2 daughters currently taking lessons at KP Ballet; one has been enrolled for six years and the other for three years. During that time, the staff of KP Ballet have consistently demonstrated they want nothing but the best for all their dancers.

Your first ballet class at Kristina Pulcini Ballet Academy

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.
