What families & students say
From the reviews
We have been SBDC customers for more than 15 years with 2 girls & 1 short time boy. Ballet training is excellent! My girls have been to Joffrey Chicago, SAB, Ballet West, & to Houston summer intensives & have seen increased YAGP scores for the past 3 years & top 12 Ensemble in SF regionals - in a duo they performed…
Wonderful dance school for the young! Have 3 granddaughters that have been taught and excelled in many types of dancing there.
Our daughters have been going here for years now. (4 years for my eldest) They both love it and look forward to it every week. Lots of support from the older girls and parents. Great community.
My daughter has been going here for many years. Great teachers, really high standards of quality :-).
Your first ballet class at South Bay Dance Center
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.
