Marielle H12/04/20225My teenager daughter recently decided she wanted to start taking ballet classes. I called Piedmont Ballet Academy and they were so thrilled that my daughter wanted to take classes. She has loved her classes and always comes home happy and excited. We've loved it so far and are glad we've found this place!
Ashraf Y08/14/20225We feel very lucky to have a daughter dancing at the Piedmont Ballet Academy. Miss Neela is an excellent dance teacher, with a deep knowledge of ballet and a thoughtful and constructive communication style. Our daughter often comes out of dance class exhilarated, excited to show us what she was working on in class. After eight years dancing with Miss Neela, we are very impressed with what our daughter has learned and the rigor of the training, while she is making friends and having a good time. As a side note, we love driving out to Contra Costa Dancewear to buy dancewear, as it is the best shop with the nicest and most knowledgeable staff around. Watching the patience of the staff as our daughter tried on ten different pairs of pointe shoes was incredible, and she was able to find just the right pair for her feet. We cannot say enough about our great experience all around.
Liz M01/10/20214.88I went to Piedmont Ballet Academy for the first time tonight to try the Intermediate Adult class (7-8:30pm). I haven't gone to a class in about ten years, but everyone was so welcoming and nice at this studio. There was definitely no prima-ballerina attitude. George (the instructor) was really funny and kicked our butts!! He was not afraid to have fun with the class, and everyone was smiling and seemed to have a good time. I am definitely going to come back and try Jeff's class as well (Wednesdays at 7pm).
Cole C02/21/20215We LOVE Piedmont Ballet! Jeff is amazing. He is incredibly supportive of the students and finds a way for each of them to discover their passion of dance. Our daughter has wanted to be a ballerina since she was 3 and Jeff would let her visit and observe classes when she was 4. She has danced there with Miss Robin since she turned 5 and we've seen her blossom in so many ways. The energy is great and the girls develop accountability, poise, and being part of a group as a performer.
