Northwest Ballet Academy

My daughter has been taking dance at Northwest for 6+ years. She enjoyes
learning from the different professional dancers who teach at the studio. And her ballet technique is getting stronger every year. As a parent, I like to see her being challenged, becoming a better dancer and enjoying what she is doing. Northwest always puts on a great, professional looking spring recital. It really is a great studio.

We love this dance studio. This is our 3rd year there after trying a couple of others, and there is no comparison. Great teachers, personal attention, live piano accompaniment with the classes. At the other places they fooled around, had kids teaching. Not here, professional instruction, disciplined approach, great performances. Could not recommend them any more strongly. We love it here!

Wonderful! We came to Northwest Ballet a year ago, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Great teachers who care, professional shows (that are not too long!), and they even have live piano with the ballet classes. We have tried other places, and my daughter has learned more here than the previous 4 years at the other places we went. I would not go anywhere else, they are great!

My daughter has trained at several local studios, and so far, NWBA is the best! Classes and rehearsals are organized, communication is clear and frequent, and the teachers are such great coaches! They also have some adult classes for myself! My daughter feels that this is the only studio at which she has connected with each of the teachers enough to flourish and improve. They really care about the progress of each student!

very disappointed!!! so unfriendly, totally felt I was taken advantage of for their Spring Dance recital! My daughter was on stage for less then 2 minutes! It cost us $70 dollars $12 per ticket, and she didn't even get to keep her costume? Which wasn't impressive at all!! Felt totally tricked to sit through a 2 hour ballet production when they held my daughter hostage the whole time! We went her for 1 year, what a waste of money!! We have pulled my daughter...P.S. They don't have the live piano player anymore, it is a C.D. false advertisement!!!! Go somewhere else don't waste your money!!!

This is the best place I have ever been, and we have tried a few. They are very disciplined, which I love (sometimes people don't like that which is in one of the other reviews, they can't abide by the rules), but it is what makes this place so wonderful. The teachers all are very caring, but professional. If you want to learn, progress, and get great dance training, there is no place else. We love it here!

What a horrible dance academy. I have not been the least bit impressed with this studio. The teachers aren't great and the staff is so unfriendly and unwelcoming. I will not be bringing my daughter back to this studio.

I have taken class at some other studios, but have found that the instruction at Northwest Ballet Academy is far superior to any place else. The instructors have professional backgrounds so you don't have teenagers with limited experience trying to teach. The live piano allows the teachers to focus on their students, not on the CD player.
