“My daughter loves coming here!”

From the reviews

This ballet school just opened and it’s so cute! Three sisters run it and I was able to visit with my 4 year old to see what a class is like. Wow… I’m so impressed! The instructor was a joy to watch with the kids and her sister played piano the entire time the girls practiced. Such a great addition to Happy Valley!

My daughter loves coming here! The sisters who own this studio are amazing and so glad to have found this spot. Miss Olivia’s teaching for youth is amazing, my husband and I were impressed when we got to sit and watch for the final lesson

Your first ballet class at Pacific Northwest Youth Ballet

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.
