What Parents Are Saying
On a practical note, tuition and fees are comparable to other studios in the DFW area. The academy produces two full productions (Nutcracker and a Spring Production). While these do require a reasonable amount of volunteer involvement, it’s very much in line with what we’ve experienced at other studios for large-scale productions. We also love that the focus is ballet only, which gives us confidence that our daughter’s training will be consistent, intentional, and safe as she continues to grow.
Ms. Marina is incredibly dedicated — she not only teaches every ballet and conditioning class for students age eight and up herself but also builds a wonderful sense of community among the dancers. There are amazing opportunities to perform, from participating in the dance company or The Nutcracker to taking part in a full ballet production for the spring recital.
This studio is truly a hidden gem — passionate about developing strong and confident dancers through instruction and performance experiences that are unmatched.
Ms. Marina (and all the teachers) are incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. My daughter loves her classes so much that she’s now enrolled every day & looks forward to every class. The friendships she has built here are such a gift too. I especially love that the students get to be a part of full-length ballet productions (instead of just a 3-minute recital song), and that they get plenty of invaluable stage experience.
What makes this school truly unique is their commitment to the Vaganova method (one of the most rigorous & elite). It results in stunning dancers who are an absolute joy to watch on stage.
We are so grateful to have found this school, and to Ms. Marina for her care and dedication to all of her students. Highly recommend!!
