The Ballet U approach to dance is truly special! My daughter has been under the tuteledge of Miss Charmaine for three years now and it has been amazing to see her grow--not only as a dancer of ballet, but as a young adult. Miss Charmaine's individualized instruction is allowing my daughter to realize her dreams of becoming a dancer. The environment is supportive, the instruction excellent, and the relationship between my daughter and her teacher is invaluable!

Tori adores Mrs. Charmaine at Ballet University. She is truly amazing and has the ability to make it fun for kids of all ages to enjoy learning the correct form and technique. The most impressive thing to my husband and myself, being scientists, is that Charmaine draws upon science texts, x-rays, etc to show the correct form and describe WHY it is important to do it properly. At our daughter's first class, we learned why buns are "Important" not just tradition. We highly recommend her and Ballet U!

My daughter started her training with Ballet U at age 11, and Ms. Charmaine is doing wonderful job in teaching her classical ballet. It's a myth that you have to be enrolled from a very young age to dance like this! My daughter learns about nutrition, and safe and healthy dancing techniques as well. She will be continuing her dance education with Ms. Charmaine for a long time to come.

Not only do my 2 daughters study ballet at Ballet U, but I also take lessons in one of the beginning adult classes. The smaller class sizes offer the opportunity for a lot of personal attention and feedback in technique, with a focus on really understanding the physiology behind the moves in order to dance safely and avoid injury. My daughters enjoy the classes very much, have fun with their classmates while getting excellent instruction in classical ballet from a truly top-notch instructor. The teen/adult class I attend is high quality but low pressure--perfect for someone like me who danced as as a child, but also the right beginning place for someone who wants to explore another method for exercise. Ms. Charmaine takes her role as teacher/mentor seriously, and truly cares about her students' health and growth both in the world of dance, and the world at large.
