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 Dress Up & Dance. I love the class too, especially because I get to play an active role in her first experience of ballet.”
— Amy
Pre-Pointe & Pointe Program
We love to celebrate our students and it is a majoy milestone when they go on pointe!
It takes years of practice to safely and successfully dance on pointe. Our Pre-Pointe Program prepares dancers for that very special moment of putting on their first pair of pointe (toe) shoes.
