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.

Unfortunately we walk away with a sense that children are not put first for their emotional and spiritual creative growth.

Kids come first when you are in that business. Sadly we ALLMhave walked away from dance in our younger years to a yelling instructor, one that makes you feel unworthy, and general lack of encouragement, fun, instructors that yell,children and mothers that are rude and entitled. It goes with the territory. No thanks. We walked away!

We went to an adoption event with quite a few dogs available. After walking around and talking to the volunteers, who were all fantastic, we were drawn to a small white and beige dog. We wanted an adult dog, and we found out, the young pup was 6 years old. She was initially shy, but could tell she was very sweet. We picked her and she picked us. We adopted her, and Miss Rita is the sweetest dog we have ever had living with us. The entire adoption process and care they give the dogs were fantastic. You can tell they have compassion and love with all the dogs. I would highly recommend you take a look at them for adoption of these wonderful furry friends.
