From the reviews
My girls have been at Nunnbetter for over 10 years. NDT's Nutcracker is an amazing production that compares with professional productions. They are inclusive and work with all abilities. My girls have enjoyed different genres of dance through the years.
Nunnbetter has been my daughters' happy space for dance and performing arts. They've thrived in their experiences with ballet, and musical theatre. We're grateful for the joy that Nunnbetter brings to their lives.
Our family joined Nunnbetter Dance Theatre September of 2022, and we are so proud of our decision to come here after 5 years at another studio in Englewood. My husband and I have three children - our son is 9, and we have two daughters, ages 7 and 4.
The values of strong technique, kindness and inclusivity feed every aspect of the studio. My girls moved studios to NDT during the pandemic in 2020 and have had wonderful experiences in the pre-professional program!
Your first ballet class at Nunnbetter Dance Theatre
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.
