    I went to PSB for most of my youth because my mom thought it would be a great opportunity for me to…read morebe able to learn to dance ballet. Now that I've grown I've recognized the harmful and toxic practices that occur in this dance studio. As an adult I have had to recognize that the moral lessons I learned at the school don't align with the claims they make on their website. I am unlearning the idea that I wasn't enough, I wasn't good enough, and that it wasn't my fault for how competitive and toxic the environment really was when I attended. Girls were constantly being pitted against one another whether it was harmful gossip or actual comments made by the staff. I'll never forget the way in which teachers would talk negatively about past dancers that had chosen to leave from the toxic environment. I was personally scolded by one of the teachers and was told that I wasn't cut out for a prestigious summer program "you should try out next year when you're strong enough". Regardless of never meeting PSB's expectations I was accepted to the program. Because that's what the art of ballet should be. Ballet should be inclusive and encouraging. Please don't send your kids to this school if you want them to endure trauma that will linger into adulthood!

    I grew up dancing at Petaluma School of Ballet and once graduated, I was lucky enough to teach here…read morefor four years. I learned so many things while dancing for many, many years at PSB including teamwork, diligence, patience, and time management, and I'm thankful that I learned these things while dancing at such a respected and long-established studio.

The decor is beautiful, with warm lighting, plants, and a really inviting vibe. The teachers are incredible. They're experienced, supportive, and create such a positive atmosphere. There are tons of beginner classes, as well as many options for more experienced pole dancers. This place is perfect for total beginners, and the instructors do a great job of meeting you where you're at and helping you build confidence. Classes are thoughtfully structured and flow really well. The instructor will start by checking in with the group--everyone usually introduces themselves and shares how they're feeling or what they want to focus on that day. There's a water station if you need to fill up before class begins. Then comes a solid warm-up with plenty of stretching to get your body ready. From there, the instructor leads the class through movement or choreography with lots of spotting, personalized instruction, and encouragement. There are also opportunities to film yourself throughout class if you want to track your progress or celebrate what you've learned. Everything wraps up with a cool-down stretch and a short debrief on what you worked on that day. They also offer other types of dance and yoga, along with some beautiful specialty classes--like candlelit evening dancing--which make the experience feel extra special. One of the best things about this studio is how inclusive it is. Pole here really feels like it's for every body--no matter your background, experience, or comfort level. There's also good parking, which makes getting to class easy. And I have to say--Halea really cares about her students. You can feel it in the way she teaches and in the environment she's helped create. Everyone is supported and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a welcoming, beautiful space to move, learn, and feel good in your body.

    I love it here! Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. If your looking for a sign to come join…read morethis is it!

I had a few questions since every ballet company works a bit differently and I was happy that the staff was quick to response and answered all my questions. It's a small ballet studio in a beautiful community of Penngrove. There is a park near it as well as a Penngrove Market. I liked the atmosphere and what I saw the first two classes I attended. Parents are welcome to stay to watch the class if they like or take advantage and finished those last minute errands you might have while your child it's at ballet. The teacher is nice but firm and she runs the class smoothly. She has a good handle on the kids and most important she knows how to talk to them. She makes sure everyone gets a turn and sees that everyone is in the right position otherwise she'll correct them. She makes the class a learning experience but fun but at the same time. There isn't a water fountain in the studio so make sure you bring water or you can purchase from the snack Bar water bottles or snacks. There is plenty of Parking so no worry there.

    (( This business is also known as "Contessi Ballet". I will be reviewing the Adult Ballet division…read more )) Located in Penngrove's historic train depot building, Contessi Ballet has a warm, community feeling and they embrace dancers of all ages, shapes, and sizes. At my first class, I was warmly welcomed by the staff and dancers. They offer a decent compliment of adult ballet classes, including two levels of pointe. They offer classes both in the mornings and in the evenings, making it easy for a busy adult to take class during our ever-changing schedules. Best of all (and what attracted me to the studio in the first place), they allow their adult dancers to perform dancing roles in their productions, and even join the NBPA company if they qualify. The company class on Saturdays also offers pas de deux. The studio holds both a winter production (The Nutcracker), and a spring production. The only issues I would put forth is the cleanliness of the floor (I would prefer it to be a bit cleaner), and the temperatures in the studio can fluctuate, so dancers are encouraged to bring layers. I feel that more corrections could be given during classes (some of the teachers are young and seem hesitant), and perhaps more teacher/pedagogical training could be provided for the instructors. A great studio for adults who wish to pursue dance!

    Dancing was always a little terrifying for me! Very happy to have found Jasmine Worrell Dance…read more Jasmine is a dance instructor like no other. She is skilled in helping students thru the typical fear and nervousness that some experience with dancing. I recommend the 7 session beginner swing series if she is offering it. It will take you from being a complete beginning to being ready for social dancing. My daughter and I have been taking classes from her and plan to stick with it! It's been great 1 on 1 time with her. In addition, the swing dance community and her other students are a fun, great group and are completely welcoming.

    From the owner: Top Swing Dance and Wedding Choreographer in SF Bay Area!…read more Jasmine is a full-time dance instructor with over 15 years of experience teaching dance. She specializes in east coast swing, lindy hop, charleston, balboa -- and other ballroom dances. The school absolutely loves working with beginners! Jasmine is a patient, kind, creative and dedicated dance instructor working with folks from all background and dance goals from those who want to prepare for their wedding dance and making each first dance a custom fit for every newly wed couple, to those who want to learn how to simply social dance. All lessons are guaranteed to be a fun learning experience! Jasmine is just as great at working with couples prepare for their wedding dance by designing a custom, elegant dance, while helping couples feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor, as she is working with single folks or couples wanting to learn how to social or swing dance.

The community here is fantastic! Completely non-judgmental, full of fun, down-to-earth people, and instructors who somehow make suffering in the heat actually enjoyable. I've been coming for 3 years now, rotating between hot Pilates and the classic 90-minute Bikram class (a true test of body and willpower). I started coming because I wanted to find a community that shared my values of health, fitness, and wellness. When you first walk into that hot room, it can feel intimidating, like, "Wait, I signed up for this on purpose?" But trust me, everyone starts somewhere, and you'll quickly realize you belong. Lynn and Jeff, the owners, are legends who have built something special with their three studios (Petaluma, SF, and Berkeley). I go to the Petaluma location. The vibe is great, with lots of friendly faces and the kind of heat that makes you question your life choices for 10 minutes and then thank yourself for the rest of the day. You'll walk out stronger, more resilient, and maybe a little addicted to the sweat. Just don't forget a big water bottle and a sense of humor. You'll need both!
