From the reviews
Our family has known Miss Christina for nearly ten years. She is still the same wonderful person. Fine teachers like her combine kindness, respect, and discipline which produces excellent students who are passionate about learning.
My oldest daughter started dancing at New West 11 years ago. My youngest has been there for 7 years, and my middle daughter took classes for a few years, as well.
My daughter has been dancing at NWB for 6 years and has loved every minute. From the Nutcracker to the spring recitals it has all been such a wonderful experience for her and our whole family. NWB is more then just a dance studio, it’s a family.
New West is an excellent ballet school and studio that is professionally run by experienced dancers. The students are provided top notch technical instruction in a caring environment. They have also been very careful about operating within all COVID guidance this past year.
Your first ballet class at New West Ballet School
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.
