What Parents Are Saying
“There is a perfect positive balance between the professional and the fun and personal at Octorara Ballet.”
— Brent
“One of my daughters noticed on her evaluation that one step that she performed well was one that previously needed to be improved! She was beaming and proud of herself for focusing on an area that needed improvement and it was noticed.
— Christine
“My daughter absolutely loves her preschool ballet class. I love the class too, especially because I get to play an active role in her first experience of ballet.”
