I am a new(ish) student of Bianca's Intro to Ballet class. I studied ballet for many years as a…read morechild and teen, even working my way up to being en pointe. A couple of years after I stopped dancing, I had to make some medical/medication decisions that resulted in rapid weight gain. That was nearly 20 years ago: I am now 36 years old, 5'2, and weigh 250lbs. I love ballet more than anything, and I have spent much of my adult life searching for a class where I could feel comfortable, centered, and try to figure out what balancing is like in this body I have now. In most classes I've tried, I have struggled to keep up, to be seen as valid in the eyes of other students, and to feel like I was worth the teacher's time. From my first email to Bianca, she assured me that fat ladies are nothing new at her school (my words not hers) and her classes are very much geared toward meeting people where they are at. I have found this to be 100% true. This Intro to Ballet class has already been transformative for me. It's a lot of work to figure out how to do many of these moves/positions that I have muscle memory of, but now in a completely different body. It's tricky to figure out exactly which muscles to engage when, since many of them aren't as close to the surface of my skin as they used to be. Bianca has been kind and accommodating, always willing to troubleshoot with me. Since I do seem to have more of a ballet background than many others in the class (an adult ballet class for ACTUAL beginners! so rad!), I feel valued for the knowledge and confidence I have. The other people in the class seem to be enjoying themselves just as much. We laugh together, groan together, smile encouragingly at each other, and make faces at each other while we rub our sore muscles. It is rare to be in an environment that is simultaneously so challenging and so supportive. Bianca fosters a really special atmosphere at this school and I look forward to taking many many more classes there. I wholeheartedly recommend Bianca Lily Ballet and I am overjoyed to feel like, and be, a dancer again.

While I haven't taken any ballet classes from Bianca, she has given me a few impromptu lessons in…read moreTango. She's great! She's incredibly patient, knowledgeable and credentialed. I can only assume she carries herself the same way in her ballet classes. From what I understand, she offers a range of classes, from beginning to more advanced.

Joseph Chavez was hired to DJ a 20-Year Class Reunion on 08/23/25 at the Santa Ana Star Hotel &…read moreCasino. The morning of the event I received a text from Joseph stating: "I was shot last night and am in the hospital. I won't make it tonight." He further explained in a text that he was "shot in the gut and a victim of road rage." Unfortunately, with the amount of violence taking place in Albuquerque, a road rage incident involving gun fire would most certainly have been broadcast on KOB-4, KOAT-7, KRQE and all over social media outlets... which it was not. Quite the elaborate excuse to get out of a commitment agreed to several months ago. I found it strange that Joseph was not replying to my texts earlier in the week nor did he return my phone call on Friday evening around 6:00 pm. I was able to find a DJ Service who understood the dilemma we were in, and wholeheartedly assured me that the event would go on without a hitch. The reunion was a success!! Joseph Chavez is unprofessional and I truly believe he wanted to get out of his commitment by hiding behind his phone in hopes of not having to personally speak with me. I understand emergencies may arise, but his bogus "I got shot" further justified his lack of decorum, childish excuse and total lack of professionalism. DJ'ing may only be a side gig for Joseph, but to the Reunion Committee this was a time-consuming endeavor that required the cooperation & professionalism of all parties involved to make the event happen. I will never recommend Joseph Chavez nor his Dance Studio.

She didn't want to go because it was boring. All they did in this class was do the same dance every week and learned nothing new. My daughter was so bored. I also think they nickel and dime you here. The last month I was here, she went twice because the recital was one Saturday (the day of her class) and the other day was her class. The other Saturday there was no class. We didn't even get a discounted month...this wasn't the only month like this either. The recital was a total rip off too. Won't be coming Back here.
