I can not imagine a better ballet school anywhere. The instructors are professional dancers (past and present), they seem to really care about the kids and still are precise in their techniques. The school is set up to take aspiring dancers from their first steps through a professional career. The dance studios are large and the pianists work well with the instructors. If you find a better school let me know ;-)

This is, hands down, the best hidden treasure of ballet in the bay area. The instruction is always fantastic, and the classes maintain a light atmosphere while providing a quality of training that is almost impossible to find outside of professional schools. There is no studio bureaucracy, just one excellent teacher. A great place to start or continue your dance training.
