My daughter has been dancing with Ms. Stephanie for over 10 years now. Looking back, a parent enrolls their child into all sorts of programs. 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. read more
