I really liked the school and the instructors but the distance from the suburbs to St. Paul proved to be too far for continued attendance.

Our daughter has been part of the dance program at Ballare Teatro for over 13 years, and it has…read morebeen such a positive and formative experience for her. The teachers are professional educators, dancers, and performers who are well trained, knowledgeable, and invested in their students' growth, both as dancers and as people. One of the things I appreciate most is the thoughtful structure and pedagogy of the program. My daughter has been trained in a way that truly prepares her for the future--her plans are to dance in college and to continue beyond. The instruction is serious and high-quality while still being encouraging and supportive. The studio also offers opportunities built into the program, including performances and audition workshops that help students gain real-world experience and confidence. Additionally, the Repertory program for the higher levels allows dancers to work with well known choreographers in multiple dance styles and perform in a professional atmosphere. While these opportunities are unique and come with high expectations, the environment remains non-competitive, inclusive, and encouraging, which creates a healthy and joyful place for kids to grow. As a discerning parent with a degree in dance, myself, I can honestly say this studio has been an incredible foundation for my daughter's dance journey. We're so grateful to be part of this community.

In addition to the phenomenal teachers, Ballare truly is a healthy community space for our kids and me. The atmosphere is positive and inclusive. As a therapist, it was extremely important to me that any participation in dance be body positive and focused on healthy movement, strength, and wellbeing rather than any particular size or dance aesthetic. In 10+ years, I have never once had pause that Ballare is not the place for us. Our eldest has made some of her closest friends within these studios and additionally has been mentored by adults we have grown to love and respect in our time here. We have watched them demonstrate tremendous care for our community during COVID, finding ways to keep kids dancing while also keeping them safe. We have watched them support kids transitioning into the fullness of themselves with loving acceptance. As dancers age, we have been impressed by the way in which constructive feedback is given, helping them develop to their fullest with compassionate honesty, which in our experience of youth sports is not always something that happens as well as it does here. As an adult without a dance background, these classes have been empowering, good for my body, soul, and spirit, allowing me space to try new challenges without shame. Ballare is truly a special spot in the Longfellow community.
