    I love this studio! I have never been to a dance studio that offered so many opportunities for…read moreadult, non-professional dancers. You don't have to be a pro to receive excellent instruction here. A large variety of classes are offered for adults and teens, especially focusing on ballet and pointe, and these classes are no joke! They are long (1.5 to 2 hours for technique, and 1 hour for pointe), so you get a good barre, stretch, and center, along with plenty of time to discuss concepts and technique. While the instruction is professional and detailed, there is no need to worry about dress code or a toxic atmosphere. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in, and everyone is positive, friendly, and welcoming. No drama divas here! The prices are also very fair - just compare them to other studios in the area - and you pay less per hour the more hours you dance per week. This is the perfect studio for anyone who is considering trying ballet, as well as for adults who want a more intensive ballet school. The first class is free, the music is great, and the instructors can work with any physical limitations that a dancer may have. Plus, they offer the rare opportunity for a beginner adult or teen dancer to eventually go en pointe with enough training. Best of all, CCD offers TWO performances each year at Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park! If you have ever dreamed of performing in a ballet, yet thought you were too old, you're in luck! These are not recitals, but full-fledged productions. They are not necessarily classical ballet-based, but also incorporate jazz, tap, and contemporary. It is an amazing experience to take part in one of these productions! They are not your usual ballet fare, either. For 2010, CCD put on original productions of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Nightmare Before Christmas". A welcome change from the usual "Nutcracker"! I should also mention that the floor and facilities are fantastic. The studio is clean and fresh (no dust bunnies!), and the floor is sprung with multi-purpose Marley which is perfect for pointe work. It is well heated in winter. They are in a convenient location, being just a few blocks away from the center of the Cotati hub. This studio also offers classes for children, starting with Primary Ballet for 4 and 5 year olds and going up to teens. They are also beginning to offer RAD ballet exam work. Best of all, they are expanding their class lineup to include adult beginner tap, hip-hop, and Afro-Caribbean.

    It is a huge privilge to take class from someone as knowledgable and kind as Tamara Grosse. Her…read moreteaching style is warm, specific, and respectful, and her pacing provides a positive challenge that leaves me feeling full of gratitude at the end of class. It is clear she prioritizes safety and health in her beautiful studio and for her clients on Zoom by offering modifications and following covid precautions. It is also deeply refreshing to hear correct terminology used throughout class--Ms. Grosse is the real deal! I highly reccommend her adult ballet class for dancers of all walks!

I had a few questions since every ballet company works a bit differently and I was happy that the staff was quick to response and answered all my questions. It's a small ballet studio in a beautiful community of Penngrove. There is a park near it as well as a Penngrove Market. I liked the atmosphere and what I saw the first two classes I attended. Parents are welcome to stay to watch the class if they like or take advantage and finished those last minute errands you might have while your child it's at ballet. The teacher is nice but firm and she runs the class smoothly. She has a good handle on the kids and most important she knows how to talk to them. She makes sure everyone gets a turn and sees that everyone is in the right position otherwise she'll correct them. She makes the class a learning experience but fun but at the same time. There isn't a water fountain in the studio so make sure you bring water or you can purchase from the snack Bar water bottles or snacks. There is plenty of Parking so no worry there.

    (( This business is also known as "Contessi Ballet". I will be reviewing the Adult Ballet division…read more )) Located in Penngrove's historic train depot building, Contessi Ballet has a warm, community feeling and they embrace dancers of all ages, shapes, and sizes. At my first class, I was warmly welcomed by the staff and dancers. They offer a decent compliment of adult ballet classes, including two levels of pointe. They offer classes both in the mornings and in the evenings, making it easy for a busy adult to take class during our ever-changing schedules. Best of all (and what attracted me to the studio in the first place), they allow their adult dancers to perform dancing roles in their productions, and even join the NBPA company if they qualify. The company class on Saturdays also offers pas de deux. The studio holds both a winter production (The Nutcracker), and a spring production. The only issues I would put forth is the cleanliness of the floor (I would prefer it to be a bit cleaner), and the temperatures in the studio can fluctuate, so dancers are encouraged to bring layers. I feel that more corrections could be given during classes (some of the teachers are young and seem hesitant), and perhaps more teacher/pedagogical training could be provided for the instructors. A great studio for adults who wish to pursue dance!

I would have driven all the way to you just to turn around and leave because of your fee that wasn't disclosed upfront.

If that's is not the case with you it would be a much better business practice to be a little more upfront in the future. It feels incredibly dishonest.

The wonderful office staff (Hi Laurel, Brittney, and Sarah!) Are ALWAYS happy to see you and handle business with cheerful positivity and distinct organizational skills. Whether you're looking to send your children here or it's time for you to finally learn something you've been dying to try but wasn't ever sure about, this is the place for you!

Both of our children loved every teacher and every classroom they were in throughout the years. They were always excited to go to TLE, and they believed that every classmate was their friend. The classrooms were lovely, clean and well organized. The meal plan was superb, and very convenient. The outdoor play areas were large, shaded, customized to age range and abilities, and filled with bikes, water pads, and sensory toys. Communication with the director, Kenzie, and assistant director, Rosie, was immediate, considerate and thorough. Our eldest was fully prepared for kindergarten when she graduated from TLE. She understood classroom dynamics and expectations, and she had mastered measurable skills in language, reading, math and art. Our youngest was loved and nurtured during his time at TLE, and the teachers were incredible at supporting us during potty-training and different developmental stages. There is a lot of love, care, and attention to detail in this safe, professional and fun little school. We miss it a lot!

She's warm, welcoming, and has this effortless way of connecting with both kids and parents, which, in my book, is a rare and magical combo. My kids absolutely adores her, and I can see why. She brings such positive energy and always seems to be in ten places at once, without missing a beat. She's also incredibly organized! The kind of person who somehow makes school events, updates, and reminders feel easy to keep up with (and I barely remember what day it is). You can tell she really cares about the families and puts her heart into the work. We feel lucky to have someone like Ms. Kenzie at the school, it's made all the difference for our family!

Rigo was my main contact, and he was so friendly, caring, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Our venue had very poor cell service, which made coordinating a surprise performance a bit tricky--but Rigo went above and beyond. He even called ahead of time to make sure he had the exact location and understood where he needed to be so everything would go smoothly. Despite the challenges, they showed up right on time, patiently waited for the perfect moment, and completely made the bride's day. It was such a special surprise, and they executed it flawlessly. On top of that, they played an extra song so the couple could have a first dance moment--which wasn't even planned--and it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the night. We will absolutely be hiring Rigo and the group again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
