From the reviews

My son is a ballet student at TBC he has grown so much as a dancer with Ms Jill as his teacher. The studio is a safe fun environment for my son to do what he loves, enjoy his friends, and further advice his dance ability. TBC is a wonderful home away from home for dancers at any level.

★★★★★ — Cassidy, Apr 2021

My daughter attends here and absolutely loves it. They take ballet instruction very seriously but also keep it fun for the kids. The other students are friendly, kind, helpful, and inclusive which made my daughter feel right at home from the beginning.

★★★★★ — Kristin, Feb 2024

My daughter has been dancing since she was 2. We’ve been a part of a handful of ballet studios and none have even come close to the level of care and excellence that she’s experiencing at The Ballet Company. The owner cares deeply for these girls- heart, mind, and body.

★★★★★ — Allie, Sep 2025

Ms. Jill is an amazing Ballet teacher. Our children have been training with her for many years now. She takes the time to understand their individual needs and focuses on how to improve their dance. She has created a beautiful studio that is safe, warm, and friendly.

Your first ballet class at The Ballet Company

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.
