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.

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.

I can't say enough about the positive and supportive environment the teachers create. They somehow balance the emotional, technical and creative sides of being a teacher of the arts. What stands out the most is that they don't just teach dance, they truly see the whole child. The teachers are incredibly thoughtful about each student's emotional development, confidence and creativity all while helping them develop technically as dancers. Sebastopol Ballet is so special. Their student's grow not only as dancers but as individuals; teaching them discipline, resilience, self awareness, perserverance, confidence and what it means to truly have a supporitve community of parents, students and teachers.
