From the reviews
The staff are amazing and they have beautiful performances year round and especially the yearly nutcracker performance. My daughter has been attending since she was 3 years old and is almost 12. It has been a positive and great experience.
I always love visiting Ann and Zoura in Petaluma at North Coast Ballet Company. The level of technique is top notch when I guest teach there!
My daughter has been dancing here for almost 4 years. All the teachers are fantastic and love what they do.
I danced at this studio from when I was nine through when I went away to nursing school when I was nineteen. The quality of training is superb. The instructors strive to give you a high level of training that can take you into a professional dance career regardless of your career goals, natural talent, or body type.
Your first ballet class at Petaluma School of 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.
