I used to dance here. I was doing a fundraiser for a soup kitchen in Santa Rosa. I asked if they…read morecould donate a class or private lesson and they willingly gave me a gift certificate for 4 private lessons which was very generous. The person who bid on it was previously a student there. He tried to use it and they told him he couldn't use it because he wasn't a new student even though it says nothing on the gift certificate that you have to be a new dancer. They told him to have him ask me to give him back his money that he paid for it. This is just another example of the sleazy business practices. So disappointing for the man who bought it. There are so many other places that are fun to dance that have ethics. Jenny in response to your comment with the two other gift certificates you donated for our auction this was not the reaction not honoring certificate. The certificate says nothing about needing to be a new student as a requirement. It also, costs me alot to put on an auction and to create materials to promote your business at our auction. Often times people by gift certificates to support and event and never use them but this time someone wanted to use it. The recipient called me last night and said you offered him a month of free group classes after I posted this. At least he got something for his money. So thank you.

Santa Rosa Ballet offers the most hours of classical ballet training per week for the upper level…read morein the area. While Pilate, stretching, and weight training may be necessary for strengthen different weakness of individual dancers, the total hours of actual ballet classes are "MUST" for muscle memory and musicality for advanced technique. For the little ones, you may not distinguish many differences between other dance studios. However, starting around 8-10 years old, Santa Rosa Ballet is the best school to study classical ballet in Sonoma County as it is the basic for variety genres of dance. My daughter has been accepted to San Francisco Ballet School summer session for 2 years by in person auditions and Royal Ballet School (London) on waitlist. This assures me the excellence of Santa Rosa Ballet teaching curriculum.

She started with ballet at age 3, and is now almost 17. Year after year she pulled away from various other sports and programs and chose ballet. At age 3 your little one attends ballet once a week--it's a joy to see them dance, learning little by little. It fills your heart. Now at almost age 17, they're dancing five days a week. It's not just ballet. With classical ballet and the wonderful instruction of ballet, Ms. Stephanie has helped my daughter be the strong person she is today. Ballet teaches so much: memory, focus & concentration, quick thinking skills. Additionally it can be relaxing, fun, difficult, and when playing classical music it can also bring a positive and calming effect to the brain. All while releasing endorphins. Looking back, it's incredible to see not just the physical strength, but the emotional and mental strength it can bring your child. We love Ms. Stephanie, her teaching style, professionalism and love for the performing arts. You're not just choosing a school, you're choosing a partnership in helping your child grow. Santa Rosa Ballet is wonderful school.

My daughter has started her second year here and we could not say enough wonderful things about it…read more The staff is amazing and the studio is clean. She is learning poise and discipline in a world where children seem to be able to do whatever they want. She is taught wonderful life lessons as well as the importance of exercise. She was a bit of a clumsy little girl when she started but she is turning into quite the graceful young lady with the help of her favorite teacher Lily. The tuition is very reasonable and they have just redesigned the website and I love the auto payments! The small studio is tucked behind Starbucks and next to the Vietnamese restaurant. My husband and I like to hang out during happy hour next door while she has her lessons. I wish there were more class options because it is hard for us to come from Occidental from school and have her quickly get dressed in before class. She also is sad that the only other class time for her is during her concert band rehearsal. Maybe next year it will work out for her to take two classes.. hopefully it does because I think to be in that one it might be required. Make sure your child goes to this studio if you are thinking about dance at a young age. No matter what dance they ultimately want to study in life every one would benefit from a solid ballet foundation and this is exactly what this studio and their awesome instructors can give you.
