Victoria Ballet Theater Inc

My two daughters have been studying with Ms. Victoria for 2 years. They did not know very much ballet when they started and today, they are graceful and beautiful dancers. Ms. Victoria is very gentle with all of her students but instills the correct technique as if they were real ballerinas and also inspires each child to reach for her potential in classical ballet. Students here experience the real classical choreography as well as having an opportunity to dance solos at almost every level and age. Ms. Victoria believes no child should be held back and encourages her students to excel. I have taken my daughters to many studios in the surrounding area. They seem nice but they do not really teach authentic technique as well as I have found at the Victoria Ballet Theatre. My view is that one should invest in a school that teaches ballet properly with a constant eye on proper technique and joy for dance.

My daughter started with Ballet/Tap combo lessons from a more American-styled dance school when she was 4. She was having fun at her old school, may be too much fun. At 5, she decided that she only wanted to dance Ballet, and refused to go back to her old school. I found Ms. Victoria's Ballet school through a friend of mine whose daughter takes lessons there. From day one, both my daughter and I loved Victoria and her teaching.

Yes, she is strict in classes but very nice outside her classes. That's exactly what I expected out of my child's teacher. I'm not expecting my daughter to become a professional ballerina however I'm not sending her here just to twirl around and receive empty praises. I hope my daughter make good use of the one hour that we carved from our busy schedule each week. I'm glad my daughter feels the same way, too. I can tell how differently my daughter dances and how much more elegant she is becoming after each class.

I would recommend Victoria and her school to anyone who is serious about learning Ballet.
