"My girls have grown tremendously"

“Four days after our first Gala with Ballet East and I'm still stunned by the beauty, professionalism, performance and now pictures! Best part of it all was the happiness I saw in the weeks of preparation for the show, at the studio, in the carpools, backstage and on the stage. My girls have grown tremendously as artists, dancers and actresses. I was blown away by their technique and the joy that came from them as they danced. I am most impressed with the other students at the studio. They are all beautiful inside and out.”

“The quality of dancing from your studio is by far the most superb!”

"To the choreographers, dancers and dance teachers at Ballet East. Thank you for a spectacular show at your June recital! My three daughters and I went to show support for my 9 year old daughter's classmate. I was blown away by all of the dancers performances, the costumes and the choreography! I've been to recitals in the past, but the quality of dancing from your studio is by far the most superb! Even the adorable little ones were impeccable! A job well done indeed! Congratulations to all!!!!"

"Her love of dance flourished."

"The improvement in my daughter was night and day. Her love of dance flourished. I would recommend this dance school to anyone that wants to make themselves a better dancer. Even when they graduate and move on to college they always welcome them back to participate in classes."

"Top notch dance training"

“If you want top notch dance training, then you want Ballet East to train your child(ren). This is a serious dance studio that takes special interest in Ballet training, the root of all dance disciplines. You will be 100% satisfied - you will see the proof in your dancer. We have put both of our daughters through this school; our oldest attended BAK and is graduating from DSOA and our youngest was accepted into BAK this year. We credit this to the dance instruction our children received from the amazing faculty at Ballet East.”
