BAC provides an environment that allows each student to grow and form friendships through dance. All the teachers know their students individually and always make an effort to form a connection with each each dancer. Ballet Arts Centre provides extremely strong technical instruction to its dancers, all while keeping each class fun and engaging. While many of the students at BAC focus on ballet, there are also jazz, tap, and modern classes available. I would strongly recommend BAC to any potential dancer looking for a studio.

She creates energized and fun sequences for the students to utilize when learning the choreography. My 4-year-old daughter has learned more from Ms. PNut in 4 weeks than she has in 8 months at other dance studios. I appreciate her commitment to the art and how she is able to keep the kids focused and disciplined. You can see that the students respect her. Kenzie Illnest is also a vital member of the team. He makes us feel welcome and his talents exceed the dance floor. I appreciate his creative mind and story telling, reflected through his award-winning films. This has to be the best studio in the Boston area and beyond. The music is great, the vibes are on point and the team is clearly passionate about what they do. It is fun for me as a mother to come to the studio and watch the kids as they learn. I enjoy connecting with the other parents there, too. Phunk phenomenon is not just a studio it enhances and gives back to the community.

While browsing Groupon I noticed a deal for dance lessons at db studios, which was very conveniently located for us. Of course I browsed reviews ahead of time to make sure we weren't walking into a trap, and noticed that they had several glowing reviews on here. Congratulations to db studios too for celebrating their 1 year anniversary! The owner and instructor, Kendall responded immediately to our initial e-mail inquiry and we set up a FREE consultation dance lesson with her. I may have inadvertently made her update the website since it now says the Groupon/Yelp deals can't be combined. Oops! Kendall welcomed us to db studios, which is located within the Newton Congregational Church. The private lessons are rehearsed on the upper stage, which mimics the size of most venue dance floors. For the consultation she listened to our song to determine what type of ballroom dance style would fit best and we decided on the fox trot. We had the option of another style, but it did not allow for us to move around the stage as much. During the first lesson we learned the basic step as well as the box step. (I know, we are starting from the ground up here.) She worked with each of us individually by having us follow her side by side along with dancing with us directly. For each class she took notes to give us specific points of improvement to work on outside of class. We highly appreciated Kendall's flexible hours as I often work quite late. So we've had lessons starting at 8 PM. It's great that for Monday - Wednesday she is available until 10 PM! In addition, Kendall worked with our limited budget and we accomplished all that we hoped within the 3 official dance lessons. If the Groupon or Yelp offer is still available, I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the limited time offer. Regular priced private lessons are $85 for 45 minutes. I imagine that since this is a relatively new business she is just building up positive buzz and clientele base. Otherwise there are other comparable dance studios you can contact (most of them don't post the rates) to find out if their dance studios packages are more suitable. For more details about the actual lessons, what song we chose, photos from the wedding, and interactions with the owner check out my blog. https://ratedbyhanna.com/dance-lessons-db-studios/

Our experience with Suzanne's Dance Connection has been nothing short of extraordinary. My daughter…read morehas been part of this studio for the past 14 years, and from the very beginning it has felt like so much more than just a dance studio, it truly feels like family. The teachers are supportive, caring, kind, and fun, and they genuinely invest in each child as both a dancer and a person. Beyond creating beautiful, high-quality routines, they have helped shape my daughter into a mature, hardworking young woman with strong values and a strong work ethic. Through Suzanne's, my daughter has had once-in-a-lifetime opportunities--performing at Disney and Universal Studios, training with the Rockettes, and attending a master class at the Broadway Dance Center in NYC. These experiences have built her confidence, professionalism, and love for dance in ways I could never have imagined. As she's grown older, the studio has taught her invaluable life skills, time management, leadership, teamwork, accountability, and perseverance--skills that will stay with her far beyond dance. Suzanne's Dance Connection is truly a second home, and we are forever grateful for the love, mentorship, and incredible memories they have given our family. I could not recommend this studio more highly.

We decided on a ballet-themed party. On the day of the party, Biliana and her team allowed us to come in one hour ahead to set up. They had already decorated with delicate tulle banners, and adorned my daughter's seat in a beautiful tulle skirt. All the tables and chairs were already set up. The place is spacious and clean. They make sure everyone is having fun, including the parents. We had a rather elaborate cake table, and they constantly pitched in to help us. The kids were led in a ballet lesson, which they loved, and a series of games. The kids LOVED it! They helped us take group photos with the ballerina, who was lovely to work with, as well as serving pizza, cake, and cleaning up. It was the best birthday we have ever hosted outside of our home, and every child loved every minute. So thankful to have this gem of a place in Brookline.
