The academy is amazing. Each teacher is not only an amazing dancer, but a patient and kind teacher. They know and use their technique every day and help the students learn to appreciate the skill and dedication it takes to hone their craft. I am so glad we found this amazing company—my son has learned so much!

DANCE WITH US! ENROLLMENT IS OPEN NOW!

Ballet Fantastique has provided a loving, welcoming environment where my three-year-old thrives. She adores her teacher...Lucy looks forward to her classes with feverish excitement and anticipation. They do a great job of keeping her focused and on task in a kind, caring, and supportive manner. This has been an exceptionally positive experience. This is a great ballet academy and all those who work for BFan are true pros :)

What parents have to say

“Ballet Fantastique is top-notch, along with attention to detail, first-rate instruction, and that age-appropriate dash of imagination and sparkle!”

—Janna, parent of Anne and Kate, ages 6 and 4

"Thank you so much for teaching Isabel during her first year and a half of ballet. She has come a long way from that shy girl who used to cry in class! She has really blossomed with your patient and loving teaching style. She has also received excellent technical training. We will forever be grateful to you!"

—Deb, parent of Isabel, age 7


What to wear/bring

Class Dress Code:

  • Ladies: Leotard (uniform leotard will be provided to you with Uniform Fee); Pink or flesh-toned footed tights; Pink or flesh-toned ballet shoes.

  • Gentlemen: Black tights/leggings or shorts; White T-shirt or leotard (uniform leotard will be provided to you with Uniform Fee); White socks; Black ballet shoes

  • NOTE: We recommend that dancers come to the studio with dance clothes on, ready to dance. However, students should wear appropriate street shoes for travel to/from the studio: ballet slippers should never be worn outside, and a cover-up should always be worn.

  • Please label dance slippers and other dance equipment with student initials, so that they can be returned to you if left behind!

  • Dancers are also welcome to bring a water bottle (again, please label with initials :)

  • To help dancers focus: Hair should be pulled neatly back; no jewelry, please!

  • Street shoes are not permitted in the studio on the professional dance floor; please note that we ask everyone (parents and kids alike) to remove street shoes in the waiting area to keep the floor where our young children stretch and put on their shoes clean and safe. Thanks for your understanding!

Dance studio courtesies

  • Try your best to always be on time for class.

  • Strollers should be folded whenever possible and should not be left blocking walkways.

  • We appreciate your help in keeping the studio clean and safe.

  • Valuables should not be left unattended. Ballet Fantastique is not responsible for lost articles.

  • NOTE: Over the course of many years of dance education, we’ve found that children do best in dance class when parents and family members leave the studio (and waiting area space) during class to maximize focus and minimize distraction for all young students. Thank you for helping us promote student learning!
