Great dance studio! The space is clean, super organized, and the staff is genuinely kind and welcoming. My daughter took the 3-4 year old ballet class with Ms. Natalie, and she was absolutely wonderful. So patient, so sweet, and clearly amazing with tiny humans who may or may not follow directions The only reason we stopped is because my daughter decided ballet wasn't really her thing at the moment. While the class was working on pointing their feet, she preferred to "swim" across the floor and occasionally pull her tutu up to her chest. I think she might've just been a little too young to fully grasp ballet structure. But when she's ready to keep her tutu where it belongs and follow the steps, we will definitely be back. Overall we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend this studio! read more

My child started coming to Perfect Pointe three years ago. At first, it was just a physical therapy-style class to help her build strength and coordination. I never imagined that one day she would be dancing on stage at a National Finale, competing alongside some of the best dancers in California! Perfect Pointe has been life-changing for us. The studio is more than just a dance school -- it's a warm, supportive community that truly nurtures each dancer's growth, confidence, and passion. The training is top-notch, with a strong focus on both technique and personal development. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Ms. Belle and Ms. Stephanie, whose dedication, patience, and encouragement have played such a huge role in my child's journey. You saw her potential before anyone else did, and your belief in her has made all the difference. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone at Perfect Pointe. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing dance family! read more

If you are looking for a dance school teaching classical ballet, look no further. Likewise, if you are interested in tap dance, jazz, and hip hop classes, they are also offered here. The instructors are classically trained and the owner, who is an instructor herself, has even taught students who are now professional ballerinas. I have a 5 year old daughter and I was looking for a school that had a good balance of technique and fun. Other studios that I had looked into were too strict, others were too casual. Perfect pointe is just right. The studio has 2 rooms with big windows so that parents can take a peak at the action without disrupting the class. The waiting area is also quite comfy with a couple couches, coffee maker, and a play area for the siblings who are dragged along. The price is very reasonable and the payment process is very easy and online. We are also connected on the glassboard app making it easy to stay up to date of any changes in the schedule or upcoming events. I'm a huge fan and I am so glad that I found a dance school that my daughter loves, that I love, and where we will watch her grow. *Yelp 100 Challenge: Review 78/100* read more

My daughter Sofia started at the end of March 2018. She has a lot of energy and she started with Angelina Ballerina. She loves her ballet teacher Ms. Michelle. Such a sweet person! I love to see my daughter so happy and I really appreciate how respect and discipline matters at her school. She participated in her first recital a few weeks back and has been asking to go back on stage ever since. We are trying jazz now too. She has a lot to learn of course, but she is so happy with her new class. She loves her jazz teacher as well. She's a lot of fun. Ms. Katherine keeps them laughing. Parents are so friendly. Overall it is a great place for our babies to learn dance and appreciate it. read more

My baby ballerina loves coming to ballet every week I looked and researched and made a great choice. Ms Belle and the teachers are great !!! read more

So after 4 years, instead of replying to my review to apologize for her bad behavior towards my then 3 year old, she dodges that and calls me out instead? Wow! And she actually stalked all my other reviews? OMG! Sorry but all 4 points you made are useless and that won't sweep under the rug your bad attitude then as a teacher. In fact as a father, I still vividly remember your facial expression as you were bullying my little girl telling her NO. Usually reviews like this serve as a wake up call. A challenge to do better. I guess after 4 years, you still missed the point. read more

By far the best dance studio around!! We just had our 4th recital and it was amazing!!! The teachers are amazing and passionate!! They keep our girls/boys on pointe ;) and excited! My daughter has been in dance since she was 3yrs old and now almost 7 and loves it! Mrs Belle is seriously amazing and cares so much about all of her students and teachers!! This is not just a place to teach our kids to dance.. It's a place where our kids also learn structure and respect and share that same passion of doing what they love! I as a parent appreciate that and couldn't be happier! To see your child happy makes you happy! read more

This studios is the real deal. I am a professional performer and I teach performing arts (not dance), and I studied dance for many years. I can tell you the instructors are top notch, the studio is always clean and tidy (Covina and La Verne) and the students are always put first. Both my son and daughter have danced here, and my daughter is currently on the competition team. They take the time to get to know your child and what your child needs. I am deeply grateful for such an amazing studio to be so close to where we live and go to school. read more

The staffs are friendly but they need someone who knows how to run their business. We dip in both La Verne and Covina schools. They are both clean. This review is mainly about the Covina school. Covina school place is not well organized. It takes days for them to reply to your emails. If it's a case sensitive matter, that time would pass and your questions would not be answered. Like when classes are going to start but they don't have your kid's ordered clothes yet for the first day of class. They have posted rules about students being late but not enforced whatsoever. It's unfair to students who are on time and will be disrupted due to these late kids. It's unfair to parents who are always on time that theirs' and kids' time are waisted. They also should enforced no eating in the waiting room. This is NOT a restaurant where people would bring food and STINK up the whole ENTIRE room! It's soooooo disgusting. Prior to their recital night, we were told that they would order pizza for the kids on recital night... which they didn't. So if your kids didn't bring food, they will be hungry or thirsty. My child asked 2 adults for water on recital night and no one helped her because I was informed that everyone was busy taking care of smaller kids. During a break we went by the backstage to see our kids to check up on them, the employee/volunteer said that they were taking care of. We didn't get to see our children. So we took what the person said and left. But I had to go back again and insisted to see my kids after 2 hours of not seeing them to make sure they were ok and that was when I was told about the water and pizza incident. Recital night were chaotic. If it's going to be your first time, I don't think the management care what you should know and not know as a parent. They are NOT very specific on things. YOU as a parent MUST ask A LOT of question on how they operate on recital days. Your kids will be backstage the whole time. They need a better system also on checking out your kids. They should at least announce to form a line outside so it won't be chaos... because we know how people are, if there are no instructions, like forming a simple line, these uncivilized people will just walk through and pass you to get in infront of the door to get their kids. They just need more organizational skills, I think. read more

Instructors are profesional and care about the dancers. My daughter has developed as a person and a dancer because of this studio. They build self esteem. Lucky to have found this studio. read more

The growth of my child since beginning here has been exponential! I am pleased with the Dance teachers, staff, choice of song and choreography (which is appropriate for each age level), and competition opportunities. I highly recommend both the Covina and LaVerne locations. read more

I have been here for over two years now Mrs Belle is a great teacher and very patient with the class! There are different grades and classes that you can take. My daughter is 6 and loves to go to class. Recitals are awesome too!!! This studio also has a very well organized staff she also does nice incentives for the girls to get them more motivated to learn and get there techniques on point. The girls adore her as a teacher and look up to her. We have never had any issues with the studio or any of the other teachers, she has plenty of other teachers working. I'm so pleased with this studio and recommend it as well to everyone. read more

This is a terrific school. My daughter has had other opportunities with other schools and other private lessons and this by far outshines them all. The teachers are professional, constructive and age appropriate. The expectations are firm, but the focus on poise, discipline, fun and what's in the best interest of the girls health of spirit, mind and body is evident in the students, and their development. Miss Belle is like a magnet for the kids...older and younger....and uses her influence to guide them lovingly,strongly working tirelessly to build their abilities and confidence. To touch on the Mighty M... (does that stand for Moron?) and his unrealistic and ignorant review. Perfect Pointe is a business....a business to teach dance.-(where all of the resources go back Into making the school even better for the students). If your daughter does not have the social skills (nor do you since you didn't even grasp the teachers correct name when you wrote that selfish, ridiculous review) why should the other students have to put up with the teacher coddling to her, or using school resources to do so? And why would you reward any child for not doing what they're asked. Incentive is a part of real life...when you mature you might realize that. I hope it's before your daughter gets much older. read more

My twins have been with Perfect Pointe for 8 years & I've never regretted my choice . Every teacher is phenomenal and all professionals. Ms Belle is one of the most amazing instructors & I attribute her expertise to my twins' success with ballet. Ms Belle has been supportive since the beginning. I have enjoyed seeing the business grow and I am so proud to be a part of a business that will only be the best in the area soon enough. She even created a boys program to encourage more male involvement- what a forward thinking business. Best dance studio in San Gabriel Valley! Proud to be a part of Team Perfect Pointe. Professional recitals, amazing dance competition team, awesome dance classes. read more

My 3 year old absolutely LOVES going to her Baby Ballerina class. All week she asks me when we're going to ballet. The instructor makes the class FUN for the girls by pretending they're fairies and playing age-appropriate music, all while teaching technique. They also allow make-up classes, which is a plus. read more

Absolutely love this studio! I'm bummed that at the current time I can't afford classes. But when I could I really enjoyed the Adult Ballet they offer on Monday evenings. Teachers are great! They encourage you and are patient in their teaching. Ballet is quite challenging, yet this place makes me want to go back for more! read more

My 5 year old started attending class with Ms. Bell and she loves it. Ms. Bell is wonderful with her class and has so much patience with these little ones. They look so cute and my daughter is developing the love of ballet. We did not realize she was going to enjoy it so much. She makes it fun for them and keeps them focused during class. read more

I've been hesitant to write this review. I knew that I would have a lot to say. This review is for the Covina location only. We never attended La Verne. My daughter is a former dancer for one of the classes offered there. We attended for 8 months. I will start with the Pros: -The lady at the front desk was always nice & as helpful as possible. I believe her name is Denise (but not positive). -The instructors & parents attending there are mostly nice. -The facility itself was pretty clean & items were organized. Cons: -Over the 8 months we attended there the area & parking lot in general went downhill. I had numerous people come up to my daughter & I while I was loading her in/out of the car & ask me for money. It was scary & uncomfortable for me at times. There were a lot of people hanging out in the back lot & graffiti going on. One parents car window was broken into. I was relieved when the time changed for daylight again. -Although the instructors were nice things seemed disorganized at times. My daughters instructor was changed halfway though the course with no notice. The new one was very nice but often times running late. Our class was cancelled at one time because they didn't have an instructor to fill in. -The recital fees were way more expensive than I anticipated. Not including pics & additional tickets. My daughter was in dance for 2 years at another place & it was literally half the cost (I would still be there but we moved & live much closer to this one). -Some of the girls that attend here have super attitudes & run their mouths to other students in the waiting area making them feel bad or not as good as them. Also, some parents don't watch their other kids that are just there waiting for the sibling to finish class. When we decided to leave there I received an email bill. I just stopped going once our month finished that was paid off. Apparently I forgot that you have to give 2 weeks of formal notice. I do take some responsibility for that. But the bill via email said I owed them for the current month & if not paid ASAP there's a $15 late fee & my daughter is still considered as enrolled. This made me very upset. They had been closed for a week for spring break (a break that was changed via email the week prior). I made it a point to address to them via email that I was unhappy with the entire situation. I felt like why should I have to pay for the full month of dance when they weren't even open the first week of the month, they cancelled my daughters class once due to teacher shortage & they had a teacher change. My daughter was not there taking up space in their facility. Nor was she taking up an open spot because there were only 2-4 kids in class at times. Anyways, I was mad but I paid them their $50 tuition for the month my daughter wasn't there. I'm disappointed but also relieved that I'm done with that place. I'm over the disorganization, transients & I wouldn't want to have to pay for my window to get fixed or car broken into by staying there. read more

My little girl dreams of becoming a ballerina someday but is shy and has trouble staying focused sometimes. We started at Perfect Pointe School of Dance in January 2013 when she was 5, and I think Ms Belle and ballet have helped coax her out of her shell. She has never asked to skip a class because she loves it. The rates are affordable. The studio is clean and bright. We lost the play area (and jeep) and my toddler son is crushed, but there's still plenty of comfortable seating for parents and siblings even though it gets crowded sometimes. All the teachers including Ms. Belle, Ms Chloe, Ms Anna, are always very nice. She has since performed at 2 recitals and we look forward to helping her fulfill her dream with Perfect Pointe's help. read more

I was trying to find a strong, not over-crowded, local program for my niece to learn ballet. We are so lucky to have found Perfect Pointe! The classes are the perfect size and my niece gets the attention she needs to learn but still have a great time. It's now been about a year since my niece has been there, and since then have added hip hop and jazz to her schedule! We love Perfect Pointe and their excellent staff. read more

We have been with Ms. Belle for 2.5 yrs now. My twin now 5 yr olds love her, that's why I'm surprised to hear parents call her mean. Ms. Belle has high (but not unrealistic) expectations for her ballerinas, which includes the little ones. I for one love this! I have heard from other parents how the ballet classes their children are run and frankly I've been applauded! Unorganized and children misbehaving, that is not conducive to learning and having fun! There is a uniform at this studio so don't go and buy stuff prior to enrolling. The uniform is contingent on your child's age/level. Good news is Ms. Belle sells everything there! With work and the commute I don't have time for shopping all over town for ballet attire, plus there are no longer any dance stores in the vicinity of Covina. Ballet attire can be pricey but for the quality Ms. Belle's wares are no more expensive than what I've seen online. I have to admit I winced at $7 tights but the reality is if you take care of them they last forever! My girls have out grown them before they ever got a snag or hole. So in conclusion if you are looking for a well organized studio with high expectations for your child this is the studio for you! Oh and I almost forgot... The end of the year recital is AWESOME! read more

Great dance school, very happy that my daughter going here. Worth the investment in your child.

Our family has been with Perfect Pointe for several years now, and we've taken classes at both the Covina and LaVerne locations. Ms. Belle and the other dance teachers provide a warm, inviting environment at both studios. Their ballet training is top-notch. The kids who take multiple classes have developed deep friendships. We did the Nutcracker for the first time last December, and it was beautiful. You can really see the growth in the students from year to year. I highly recommend Perfect Pointe! read more

This studio is amazing and I love the teachers, I recommend this studio to anyone who wants to dance, the studio is clean and beautiful and parents love it. Not to mention that the prices are fair. Love this place read more

Best Ballet School ever! Prices are fair and affordable. Mrs. Belle is a fantastic and patient teacher with her little ballerinas.

Mrs. Belle is more than fantastic! Her background in professional ballet coupled with her high expectations and seemingly endless energy make her the IDEAL teacher. My daughter is only 7, but under Mrs. Belle's care, she is becoming a dancer with grace and confidence. This is one of only a few studios in Southern California that train for RAD exams ( Royal Academy of Dance) This training ensures students are progressing at a high level. If students want to become professional ballerinas or just learn the brilliant art of dance, Perfect Point is the perfect place to learn and grow read more

Miss Belle is a great teacher and very patient. My granddaughter has been taking classes since she turned three so about a year and a half and she loves it and she loves Miss Belle. My granddaughter would love it if I would let her come multiple times a week, she counts down the days till ballet. I enrolled her because she does not go to pre school and she is an only child, I watch her during the day for her parents and I thought this would be good exposure to kids that are not family. It has been an excellent experience, in the beginning she was very shy and Miss Belle was very patient and kind to her making sure to keep her close to her and include her and over a year and a half I have seen her do this with many new children. It took about two or three weeks but my granddaughter was dancing and prancing in no time. Miss Belle's own children are very sweet and well behaved. I have complemented Miss Belle and her daughter many times on her daughters behavior and she is very kind to my granddaughter and all the other children. The school has grown quite a bit since we started and I have no doubt it will continue to grow. read more

My daughter LOVES dancing at Perfect Pointe. We were spending the day at the beach , enjoying the last few days of summer. At 1:30pm she exclaimed we have to get home, "I have dance today." Ms. Belle has high expectations and clearly her students enjoy spending time at the studio. Looking forward to the fall session. read more

This is the best dance studio I've ever been apart of! I love my teachers soooo much and appreciate everything they do for all of their students! They always help us reach our potential in every dance, recital, or competition. read more

this place is great if you want to bring your little one, i brought my 4year old, who is still really shy and doesn't like to be far from her mom, so we enrolled her in mommy and me classes, i really appreciated the time that the teacher took with my daughter and didnt want to push her when she didn't want to dance, after about 2 wks my daughter was used to it and she actually started to love this class and slowly she started to be more independent, i do have to thank this class because my shy little girl is now a social butterfly and she discovered her love of dance, and she loves all the teachers and students here, so thank you! read more

I was quite impressed. Not all ballet schools are created equal. The owner, "Mrs. Belle" is a classy kinda person. Her passion for helping kids isn't limited to her extraordinary ballet skills. Her and her staff take a lot of extra time in actually "mentoring" the kids in many life lessons. I found this to be a huge plus and have noticed that my child has grown to love spending time with Mrs. Belle. What else could a discerning parent ask for. Both the Perfect Pointe School of Dance locations (Covina, Le Verne) have created an atmosphere that my child actually looks forward to be a part of. I'm greatly to Mrs. Belle and her staff for helping my child learn the art of ballet as well as important lessons in proper upbringing. read more

My girls have been dancing with Miss Belle for 3 years, since they were 4 and 5. From day one I have been extremely pleased and impressed with Miss Belle, Perfect Pointe and all the dance teachers. This is not a cheap or poor quality ballet class - it's a superior dance school that teaches girls and boys of all ages to feel comfortable and confident! Both of my girls are also in jazz now and are loving it just as much. I love to see them learning, advancing, and having fun all at the same time. They are not only learning how to dance beautifully, but they are learning responsibility, respect, and teamwork by being a part of this school. Exams are held to show their progress and the amazing recital brings tears to my eyes to see all the hard work and effort pay off. Miss Belle's love of dance and genuine love for these kids shows time after time. I highly recommend and encourage you to bring your children to Perfect Pointe. They offer so much and it is definitely the best ballet school around! read more
