Nan's School of Dance: what do users think?
Sunnynites: I am a dancer and I’ve been dancing there since the old studio I love the teachers they are so nice and not too hard on the dancers
Tim n Jaclyn Henderson: We LOVE Nan's Dance. Hilary and the teachers are all great role models and they are very organized in everything they do. It is a very friendly, confidence-building studio.
Lisa Schoolcraft: This place is amazing! The communication and organization is nothing short of incredible. Started pre pandemic and four years later going into our fifth my daughter grows. Thank you
Brenda Saha: Thank you to all the staff at Nan's dance academy for all you do, you all work so hard to make sure our dancers enjoy their classes and prepare them for their recitals. I am so happy we chose Nan's dance academy I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else. Mrs. Hillary you are awesome and you go above and beyond for our girls thank you.
Krista King: Our daughters just finished their first year of ballet and we are so grateful for such a wonderful experience at Nans! They enjoy attending class each week, making new friends and building confidence. Ms. Hillary has been the best teacher we could ask for and look forward to returning for many years to come!
lynisa marks: Our granddaughters have been attending Nans School of Dance for many years now! They love their dance teachers and they love dancing! We love watching them grow from the basic dancing to more advance dancing. What a joy it is to attend their recitals: Nans School of Dance does a great job with their presentations and stage props too!
Elizabeth Leonard: I can’t say enough positive things about Nan's School of Dance and would without a doubt highly recommend to everyone. It was extremely important to us to find a dance studio that first teaches the love of dance before anything else. They offer a huge variety of class types, styles and skill levels to meet the needs of all families when the time is right. But we wanted it to be a positive experience first and foremost. This is exactly what Mrs. Hillary White and her lovely dance teachers exemplify.We have been so impressed with Hillary and have been so thrilled to have her as a dance teacher 2+ years in a row for our little one. It has been the best foundation we could ask for. I feel she teaches more than just dance; she teaches important skills like confidence, respect, care, routine, friendship, hard work and of course beautiful technique, strength, and dance skill. I don’t know how she manages to teach, direct and own the studio (plus many other hats she wears well!) but she does it with tremendous professionalism, organization, creative skill, talent and best of all, she provides a personal touch and a big genuine smile to each family at her studio.You can really feel the family owned and run environment here but also backed with decades of experience in the industry. We started with Mommy and Me class at age 2 and continued with PreDance for 3 yr and 4 yr old age for our child. We just completed our first successful recital tonight and it was so fun, entertaining, heartwarming, well organized … just a real honor and pleasure to be part of. They have thought of everything and delivered a fabulous experience for dancers and their families.We LOVE Nan’s and Hillary!! Thank you for an amazing experience!
Rebecca Armstrong: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy daughter has been at Nan's Dance since she was 2 years old. She is now 5 and loves her ballet and tap class at Nan's. I have seen so much progress but most importantly, her confidence shines! Mrs. Hillary, a teacher and the owner is FANTASTIC! She makes sure students are having fun while learning the art of dance.
Colleen McKeon: We absolutely LOVE Nan’s school of dance! We started mid year in 2020 and we’re welcomed with open arms. Miss Hilary and all the other dance instructors are professional, personable, fantastic teachers and make dance FUN for their classes. Miss Hilary does a fantastic job at communication and I always feel in the know on what’s happening and what’s coming up. My daughter absolutely loves it and she looks forward to it weekly. If you are looking for a fantastic dance studio for your dancer in the Raleigh area Nans is it! We have already referred two friends who absolutely love it as well!
Margot Tenenbaum: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,ValueIf you’re looking for mediocre dance lessons in a run down building then this is the place for you!! Want to relax while your child runs around aimlessly for an hour? Forget it, you will be segregated and forced to sit outside if you don’t wear a mask. We dropped out of this school after about a month. Not impressed.
Amy Vancura: My daughter has danced at Nan's School of Dance since she was 4 years old, she is now 12. We love everything about Nan's! The teachers are amazing...not only are they all talented dancers but they all love teaching dance. Ms. Hillary puts together the best recitals. She is extremely organized and prepares the students so well to perform. My daughter has grown so much as a dancer during her years at Nan's. I can't recommend Ms. Hillary and her team enough!!!
Jaymi Allen: We are in our 5th year of dance at Nan's and love it! My daughter has grown tremendously as a dancer. The communication from the owner is amazing and I am so thankful for that.
Rachel Crocker: Absolutely love Nan’s School of Dance! Fun, friendly environment, excellent teachers, incredible owner and close to home! Communication is excellent as well. My daughter is going into her 2nd year at Nan’s as a company dancer and has loved her experience. I had the pleasure of working there last season and Hillary was an amazing boss! Highly recommend as a place to work and for your children to dance.
H Davidson: My two girls have danced with this studio since my oldest was 4 years old and my youngest was turning 3. They are now 11 and turning 9. The both absolutely loves the classes offered and the teachers. The studio isn’t very “stuffy” if you know what I mean. Everyone is relaxed and just wants their kids to enjoy themselves. My oldest made the inaugural Company team last year and it made her year! The company classes are so well run. They won 1st place in their very first competition. My youngest is happy to be a recreational dancer and is ecstatic to be in the Acro Dance class this coming season. We’ll dance here until the girls no longer dance (most likely when they move away for college).
Lisa Harmon: We love our daughters dancing here! They are professional, fun and really good with communication!
Rylee Humphrey: I love this place the teachers are so nice and I've improved a lot since I've been there!
Philip Rothstein: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueGreat atmosphere, awesome teachers. Family-friendly and very welcoming. So glad we choose Nan’s!
Trey Williams: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueOur 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves her dance classes at Nan's School of Dance! The staff has been very professional in their response to the COVID pandemic, and the protocols that they have put in place are consistently enforced. I feel like this is the best Raleigh dance studio for our daughter!
Chris Douglas: Hillary and her other teachers run a great dance studio in Raleigh. My 4 year old daughter is one of her students and she always looks forward to dance night.It's really comfortable atmosphere and even with the current environment (covid) she does her best to make sure that the kids are safe, learn something, and have fun.
Kristen Douglas: We LOVE Nans Dance. My daughter is 3 and is in the pre dance class. I did a lot of research on dance schools before selecting Nans and they have not disappointed. The instructors are AMAZING! They have so much patients with the little ones. Quite frankly I don’t know how they do it but you can tell that they just love what they do! The monthly price is very reasonable and kids as young as 3 get the opportunity to be in a recital. They are actually teaching ballet moves and not just running around which is great to see! If you’re looking for a great beginning place for your little one I highly recommend. We look forward to growing at Nans as our daughter increases in dance.
Michelle Mellow: Pre-Covid I would have given them a 4 star review. During COVID my rating is a one star so averaging this out. The 4 star rating is because my daughter has always been very happy dancing here and it would be five star but there hasn't been a level of instruction suitable for a more serious dancer, beyond weekly recreation. The one star rating during COVID is due to a few things. First, they do have a mask policy in place but don't really enforce it (they state they are following the state's mandate). I have on multiple occasions seen dancers let into the building without masks (older than 5 years old, for sure). They take their temperatures but do not enforce the mask policy if they aren't wearing one. Also, if you are signed up for a 30 minute class you will be lucky if your dancer gets about 15-20 minutes of actual instruction. Unfortunately they haven't buffered time to come in or leave with the new COVID precautions. For several weeks in a row the class before ours had a student without a parent waiting to pickup at dismissal. This meant that my daughter's teacher would eat into 5 minutes of their 30 minute class waiting outside with the student. Classes end about 5 minutes early too. I don't mind a little grace with COVID but there are just too many issues right now. Another concern during COVID (no fault of Nan's) is that there is a theater school a few doors down. The parking lot is super busy as is the sidewalk outside of the studio. The theater school has way more students in their classes I suspect than what is allowed for an indoor gathering right now and social distancing is really difficult if you are picking up or dropping off when the theater school is doing the same.The worst part, if you give notice of not returning, even during COVID they are still charging a one month tuition penalty. If I am expected to provide grace for things like classes starting late and ending early, they should extend some grace and not charge a cancellation penalty if notice is given.

Stage Door Dance: what do users think?
Stacy Wells: We love SDD! There are so many options for camps, classes, and workshops. Communication is always excellent. Questions are answered quickly. Everyone we've interacted with has shown a love for teaching dance to kids.This was our first recital season with SDD and we could not have been more impressed. The venue was lovely. Everything was easy and low stress. My parents who live at the beach got to watch on YouTube.Highly recommend, there's something for every dancer!
Jamie Pritchard: Our daughter had an amazing time at the dance camps over the summer. The teachers are great!
Langley Moretz: Our twin daughters have been dancing with Stage Door Dance since they were 2 years old. They’re almost 12 now. Other extracurriculars have come and gone in the past 10 years, but the one of the few constants in our lives is SDD. The benefits of being a part of SDD, thanks to owner, Chasta Hamilton, and the fantastic teachers, are far more than just dance instruction (which is truly great on its own). SDD also fosters responsibility, self confidence, philanthropy, authenticity and community in their dancers. What has meant the most to our girls is the opportunity to give back. Every year SDD chooses a worthy organization to support and spends the dance year holding multiple fundraisers for that organization. That they can combine doing something they love with doing something good in the world is a gift. It has been amazing to watch our girls grow, as dancers and as people. If you’ve never heard of SDD or Chasta, look her up. Miss Chasta and Miss Amy were our daughters’ first instructors 10 years ago and will always be special to us. We are so grateful for SDD and that our girls have Chasta as a role model.
LaShonda Alston: We absolutely love Stage Door Dance! I've seen my daughter grow so much as a dancer and watched her confidence grow. She has had the opportunity to try new styles! If you are looking to build a great foundation, have a wonderful dance family then Stage Door is the place to go! I would highly recommend Stage Door Dance to any parent looking for a great dance studio for their child! #BeMoreatStageDoor
Danielle Overcash: Stage Door Dance means SO much to our family! We started at SDD with a dance class a week, but took advantage of the preschool Perform, Learn, Play program and camps in 20-21 and SDD has truly become a ‘piece’ of our everyday life! Everyone associated with SDD is amazing and we feel so grateful for the things our daughter learns about dance (& life skills in general) at SDD!
sarah paro: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe love being part of SDD! The teachers are great! They have a true community focus and positive atmosphere! Choreography, costumes and curriculum are all age appropriate and fun!
Wendy Harris: I have been taking my daughter to SDD for 3 years now! Mrs. Amy and Mrs. Chasta and all of their teachers are absolutely amazing. Your child will learn great dance technique as well as how to be a beautiful person on the inside. They deeply care for every child and it shows in how the children love them all. They are always very responsive to calls and emails! I look forward to seeing my daughter continue to grow at Stage Door Dance!
Jacob Turney: Such a fun and exciting place. My girlfriend was in a holiday performance here. The owner of the studio was so kind and the ensemble did a fantastic job. A great studio. Bravo.
allison dickens: What an amazing studio! Children learning dance from enthusiastic, professional teachers who have a true LOVE of dance and fostering a love of the art. The excitement and happiness that came from the child I nanny spoke volumes. Definitely a warm welcoming environment nestled in the middle of Raleigh, convenient for all 💗
Linda Garr: Love Stage Door Dance!! The teachers are wonderful. My daughter has learned so much there in the past 3 years. We love our dance family at Stage Door!

Business type: Dance school

Triggle Academy of Irish Dance: what do users think?
Jen Miller- Hogg: My kid has been dancing here for 8 years. They've grown so much as a dancer and a person. The teachers are amazing.
Molly Nadile: nice stamina classes.
Keleigh Kurtz: I think this place is Awesome, Cool, and Lit to dance at.
Caitlin Clineff: Triggle Academy is the place to be for world-class Irish dance instruction. From beginners to dancers placing at the World Championships, students here at Triggle are trained in strength, flexibility, technique, teamwork, and how to handle excitement and disappointment with grace.Adult students are just as welcome as young children! As an adult dancer, I have been both challenged and encouraged to pursue my goals beyond what I once thought possible. There are quite a few older dancers, and you can choose how competitive or recreational you want to be.Dan cares about all of his students and helps every dancer achieve his or her goals.
Sarah Weaver Ozatici: TCRGs Dan Triggle and Andy O'Reilly are truly the best of the best at teaching Irish dancing. They're invested in each and every student's success and are brilliant at pushing students to be the best that they can be at dancing, while keeping a fun and positive environment. Not to mention the world-class, top notch choreography and emphasis on overall strength and fitness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Triggle Academy to anyone interested in Irish dancing!
Sheri Chen: Fantastic Irish Dance school! Knowledgeable, friendly instructors who really encourage and guide young people to excellence.
Keith Graves: We are so thankful to have found Trionoide Academy when we moved here to Raleigh! There is so much positive energy in this studio. Dan and Andy are the best!
Haley L: We cannot recommend them enough. My son has had an excellent experience there and the teachers are really amazing. What a great group of people!
Jeremy Starke: I never write reviews, but felt compelled to share our experience. First, the positives. The collective groups of dancers are immensely talented. The families we have met have during our tenure of 2 years are also inviting and welcoming.Unfortunately, the leadership at this institution needs to change their philosophy on how to motivate children & adolescents to focus and perform to the teacher's standards.My wife and I have personally witnessed several interactions involving our child and others with berating remarks from the lead instructor that can be heard in the waiting room. It was dismissed as disciplining the child to focus. This may be conducive in the army, but not in a dance studio with young children. I know we are not the only family that felt the same way about this type of instruction.
Corey Anderson: Our daughter has learned so much from the instructors at this dance school! She has gained an incredible work ethic and love for dance. The families and dancers have always been kind and helpful. We feel very lucky to be a part of such a great group of people. I can't thank the owner and the TCRG (certified teacher) enough for their dedication to teaching quality Irish dance!
Adam Smith: Morgan has come so far thanks to Dan. And she loves all her classmates. Couldn't be happier.
Elizabeth Beatty: My daughter has been taking classes at Trionoide Academy for five years. In addition to dance, she has also learned to enjoy the rewards of hard work, how to win or lose gracefully, and how to carry herself with poise and confidence in any situation. The owner of the school, Karen Johnson, started with a vision to build a world class Irish dance school in Raleigh. Our teacher, Dan Triggle, is a three time world champion and he has performed in many productions, including a three year stint with Riverdance. He is admired in the Irish dance community for his work ethic and achievements. He sets the bar high, but he also takes time to compliment the students' efforts and improvements. He is not only an excellent teacher and choreographer, but he even takes time to assist the students with their wigs and make up on competition mornings. The students have formed close bonds and they encourage each other even when they are competing in the same group. The adult students are mentors for the younger students in life and dance. We feel very fortunate and blessed that we found this school for our daughter.
Colleen O'Cain: I started taking the beginner adult classes at Tríonóide Academy in February, and have had a wonderful experience. Dan has been an incredibly helpful and patient instructor, and the owner, Karen, has been very welcoming and encouraging.
Kylie Snyder: Trionoide Academy strikes the perfect balance between fun and hard work. Dan Triggle and Karen Johnson are a fabulous team and my daughter is fortunate to have them as mentors. Dan Triggle is a World Champion and it shows in all that he does. The experience goes far beyond dance and includes: work ethic, friendship, teamwork and an appreciation of Irish culture. The family atmosphere is so welcoming and I love spending time with our Trionoide family. We could not be happier.

Carolina Dance Center: what do users think?
David Evans: Great dance space with lots of fun classes for kids of all ages.
yuhh get into it: CDC is considered to be the most toxic studio in Raleigh by the dance community. Just about every dancer I've met has a CDC horror story. Some teachers here are wonderful, while others have literally gone out of their way to harass dancers they've decided aren't good enough. I don't mean nagging or just being constructive. I had a teacher here who talked about how terrible I was to OTHER dance classes. The kids are not much better. In general they are snobby, brats who mock anyone they decide is a bad dancer. The hierarchy was crazy, if you are a low level no one will speak to you. I advise everyone considering dancing here to look elsewhere!
King Danny wever (DJ The money): I love to dance
Jaime Adams: Positive:Communication,Quality,ValueGreat teachers and classes!
Analise Stevenson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueI grew up dancing at CDC and couldn’t recommend it more! As I’ve gone on to dance through college and teach, I recognize how much of my training and experience I owe to them. The teachers are amazing and the environment is incredible. Highly recommed!
Christina G: My girls have danced at CDC for 9 years. We all love it. I appreciate the age appropriate music and costume choices along with the professional quality recitals that even Dad and big brother enjoy! The teachers are caring and truly love what they do!
Daphne Little: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value
K W: This is definitely not a real dance company. It’s more of a babysitting service with no direction or goals to make your child a dancer. No matter how much you try to give or communicate you get no response from teachers/owner and staff. At one point the front desk said “ the teachers/owners don’t answer emails they are only here to teach.”My daughter spent several years bored doing the same dance even after moving up. We moved to a new company this summer and she wants to live there she loves it so much. It’s amazing to see what a real dance school looks like after being a CDC for so long. Glad we left!
Nicole Kreiser: From cute details for tiny dancers to mentor opportunities for older students, the studio finds a way to meet each dancer where they are. Dancers will find rigor and training to ensure proper technique. Recreational dancers will find opportunities for fun and training to meet their schedules. And the owners and staff get to know their students and recommend training according to a dancer's needs.
Nichole Maxwell: My daughter loves coming to dance class every week. She’s been coming for a complete year and has never once said a negative thing. She loves the teachers.
Tracey Dragoon: We love CDC!! The price is great, the staff is amazing and kind! We love the Disney themed recitals at the end of the year and the creativity! We absolutely recommend CDC!
Clinger Kids: This is by far the best studio we have been to! My daughter has learned more in a month here then a year somewhere else and she LOVES IT! The teachers and staff are amazing and super creative! I could not imagine her dancing anywhere else!
Southern Sugar Bakery: We love CDC! It’s been amazing to partner with them over the past few years and we look forward to working with them in the years to come.
Alexis Payton: Carolina Dance Center's faculty as well as students welcomed me with open arms when I first switched to the studio. Although I was never a member of their company, I still got the push I needed to take my technique and artistry to the next level. Every teacher has the expectation that improvement is tangible - especially if the dancer persists and stays focused during class. Ultimately Carolina Dance Center has fostered an environment that a studio should feel like - home.
Marie Miranda: The kids in the foundation and the parents are snubs. They give more opportunities to advance, not by merit but just by been in the foundation. Kids that don't make the foundation tend to be left behind by the kids and some of the teachers. Sad as this wasn't at the beginning. We love the teachers and they are fantastic, but it's sad to see your child held back constantly.
Emma Lewis: Overly competitive. Produces bratty, drama- queen dancers that have attitude problems. The worst part is that the teachers see dancers bully each other, but do nothing. Requires way too much time and commitment to dance just for fun. They make you dance 4+ days a week for 3+ hours a day allowing for little flexibility or free time. If you aren't in company, you might as well be cut off from everything. Gives snobby dancers solos and character roles in the recitals which boosts their already huge egos. Made my child dread going to class each week as her peers treated her like an outcast. Favoritism is common in every class.
Beverly Daniels: Carolina Dance Studio produces some outstanding dancers !!!!! My first time seeing one of their dancers, Taylor Hnatek was at North Carolina's Young Woman of the Year Program (formerly NC Junior Miss) in Greensboro, NC. My jaws dropped to the floor as I watched her dance on pointe. I was SOLD at that point and knew I wanted my granddaughter to begin dance at this studio. They also have outstanding teachers well trained in their field of dance. I am from Kinston, NC and my girls took from a wonderful dance teacher, Mary Beth Dawson. Not all kids go to dance to seriously learn the art of dance. Some attend as a social activity and to have fun and that's okay. But if your child is exceptionally talented, this studio is the place to help them grow. I say this from experience as a dance mom who has been to multiple competitions seeing dancers from all across America and Canada compete. Carolina Dance Center students can hang with the best all across America. 3 3 Thank you Missy and all the teachers at Carolina Dance Center.
Andy Miller: Unnecessarily and bizarrely competitive - shunting non-star performers to the side/back without explanation. Recitals are painfully long. Do a great job with youngest kids, making it fun.
Melissa D: My daughter has been doing dance here for 2 years. The recitals are long but are readily nicely done. The center itself could use some upgrades.

Joshua Donahue: I’ve never met a more caring group of people. Love everything about CC’s!! Our kids love it.
Ivette Acosta Soberanes: My daughter started dancing there 11 years ago and absolutely loves it! We are very strong, loving, caring and supportive big family!!! Teachers and talented and wise, as they bring choreographers and other dance teachers to be always giving that "plus" that characterizes the Company.
Courtney Ange: I’ve been dancing for a total of 10 years now and have been at three different studios. I started out at CC and somehow three years ago decided to come back ! The company has been so much fun and the staff for company has been great ! By far out of the three studios this is the best one!
Chaka Khan Fogg: ALWAYS a pleasant experience! ✨✨✨

Jules Duke: Positive:Quality
Beth Thaxton: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismOur family loves CC&Co. Our dancer has grown tremendously under their care.
Niasha Fray: High quality instruction, creative expression, athletically challenging, and very inclusive and diverse. Top notch Gala productions, variety of courses and programming for all ages. This team of professionals makes a variety of contributions to enrich our community through the arts.
GregAndRachel Bass: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueAll three of my kiddos have danced at CC & Co at one point or another, and we’ve never had a teacher we haven’t adored! The studio has the vibe of a family, where everyone is welcome and everyone is loved! We love CC & CO!!!
kristen rinaldo: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMrs.Marlene is AMAZE!!!
Julia McGovern: Amazing and professional dance studio! The staff is an extremely talented group of people. Always kind and encouraging for the dancers. CCCO makes my daughter feel strong and confident about herself. Our family loves and highly recommends CCCO.
robyn: CC&Co has been the most wonderful studio ever! The staff are fun-loving, helpful, and pushes you to improve. I have been going here for 6 years and I have loved every moment. I get to dance with people I see on TV or at Conventions that are incredibly gifted! I am in the Jolt company and everyone in it are my family. I love CC&Co!!!
Hailey Lynn: I’m a dancer in Jolt and CC has been my home for 10 years. Thank you to all my teachers and friends for this amazing experience.
Ellie's World: I love it!! I came to CC's about 2 years ago now this is my 3rd year. I ♡ C.C and CO
Samantha Schpero: Let me start by saying I have never given a review of anything before so the fact that I am writing this says a lot!!! This place is absolutely the worst dance place I've ever been to. The facility is difficult to get in and out of. It's not parking friendly or stroller friendly. There is not enough seating. Its hot and stuffy. It's very crowded and difficult to maneuver around with your kids. The staff is not very friendly nor accommodating! The teachers are strict and intimidating to the youngsters. For the end of year recital, my daughters class of 3-4 yr olds is on a Sunday night at 7:30 pm (passed her bedtime). After mentioning this to the director, nothing was changed or even considered. She simply said "they'll rally". Overall, I'm extremely disgusted with this place and am looking forward to this all being over.
Brady n Krystal Ambrose: I found this place on Google while looking for a dance class for my daughter. They have alot of classes and options for you to take AND they are very reasonable price wise then the other studios I have seen in Raleigh and wake forest. I would just recommend you sign up early cause they fill up fast!I saw some reviews about them being unhelpful so I was on the lookout since I expect good customer service.They were very helpful! People I spoke with on the phone, at the front counter, buying her uniform, and speaking to her ballet teacher. All very wonderful!My daughters ballet teacher has quite the resume too. Very impressed who they have hired here and very happy I picked this place!
Melissa Weider: VERY unhelpful front desk staff! Too distracted with their own conversation. Facility is rundown. It is difficult to enter and exit facility. Some of the other dancers (kids) are allowed to bully the students, and the studio doesn't intervene. Not a good experience

Tutu School Raleigh: what do users think?
Stuart Gordon: Tutu school has been a reliable, safe, and fun place for our daughter to explore ballet. We’ve participated at both the Cary and Raleigh locations and had great experiences. The recitals have been big for her confidence by branching out to step on stage and showcase what she’s learned
Lauren Pierce: We can’t say enough good things about Tutu School! My daughter started twirling there at 2.5 and still loves it at 4. The teachers do such a good job of making all of the dancers feel so special — it is the sweetest culture! We look forward to ballet each week!
Shelby Taylor: Our girls have LOVED working with the teachers at Tutu School. It’s been so amazing seeing how much their confidence has grown and how much they truly enjoy ballet. The teachers are SO kind, patient, and make it so much fun! Thank you Tutu School for sharing the love and practice of ballet with us!
Alina W: My three year old daughter has been going to Tutu School Raleigh for almost a year now and we absolutely LOVE it! It’s a wonderful place for children to move their bodies, use their imaginations, and interact with other children their age. The teachers use a curriculum that includes ballet stories that are read during each class. My daughter is always excited to put her tutu on and go to ballet each week. She also loves practicing what she’s learned in class at home. I’ve told many friends about Tutu School and they’ve enrolled their children too! Thank you for the magic Tutu School!
Jacquelin Ayala: Not only does my Daughter love going to Tutu School, the whole family does too. She looks forward to going to Ballet every week, to see her friends and most important dance. I especially love how personal the experience is, the teacher always knows the girls names and talks to them making each dancer feel special. I love the memories we are gaining each week and can’t wait to see how she will progress in her dance journey.
Rachel_ M.a.: Tutu school has been the best experience so far for my 3 year old, she loves her teacher Ms Danika, and enjoys the creative ways the lessons are structured. It is very imaginative, fun and something me and her look forward to every week!
Cullen Eller: We love Tutu school! We look forward to it every week and love our teacher so much! Always age appropriate and full of joy!
Ashley Foster: The classes are well organized and designed to encourage the dancers to gain confidence and body control in a fun way. My daughter loves all the fun props like ribbons wands ♥️
Anna Wade: We love Tutu School! My three year-old looks forward to her weekly classes. The classes are perfect for her age and designed to maximize engagement. We are very pleased with our experience and cannot wait to enroll our younger daughter.
Zachary Buckheit: Our daughter attends Tutu School of Raleigh every weekend and absolutely loves dancing with Ms. Kimberlyn!
Lindsey Weaver: Very inviting studio and always clean. My daughter loves ballet at tutu school and all the teachers. Last year we had a ballet birthday party at the studio which was absolutely beautiful. It was stress free, all we had to do was show up. Being a small business owner I believe in supporting other local businesses.
Tina & Christian: Our daughter loves coming to miss Kimberlyn’s class on Sundays! It’s so much fun seeing how much joy she gets from learning cool things she is capable of doing with her body. Story time and coloring time are excellent too and they do a great job making ballet fun for our little kiddos! We love seeing how much more confident she’s become as well. Thank you for the magic, Tutu School!
Erin Bruns: We have had the most wonderful experience at the Tutu School! The classes and instruction are engaging, age appropriate, and so fun!
Vpaolita_ M: I love tutuschool they are super friendly nice & Caring about there students my daughter lovesss going to ballet class her teacher miss Emily is an amazing teacher super good with kids 100% recommend tutuschool
Lauren Vukina: Tutu school has been such a fun activity for my daughter and me. We are in the 24M-3 yr old class on Monday evenings. Ms Molly is absolutely amazing with the girls, keeps them on track and we all have fun together. It’s a great way for your child to learn about listening and following directions. We look forward to class each week!!
Junior Tavarez: My Daughter loves this place the teachers are really good.
Polly Rodriguez: So fun for little ballerinas who are into sparkles, rainbows and grande jettees. Creative and patient teacher. Masks for the dancers.
Sara Prado: My 3 year old daughter started at the Tutu school about 4-5 months ago and has grown so much over that time! She has learned to be around other little kids, take turns, listen to the teacher and basic principles of classroom behavior.I love the special tools they use to keep the kids attention (magic wants, wings, etc) because it keeps the class fun and exciting. I would highly recommend this class not just for the ballet instruction but also for your child's growth :)
Debra Santiago: My 2 year old has been coming to Tutu school for about 2 months now. At first, she was not in tune with the steps and kind of all over the place but over time, she’s learned to be more intentional with her movements. She’s doing so good now, I’m glad I decided to keep taking her. It’s developed a lot of her fine motor skills too. We’re very pleased!
Mercedes Borjas Reyna: What a Wonderful school. WE LOVE TUTU SCHOOL. My daughter Anxiously await every week for her ballet class.( she loves her teacher) honestly she’s Amazing. They are Covid-Cautious, and a spotless place.I love that there’s small class sizes, so they really focus on each kid. I highly recommend this school.

City Ballet Raleigh: what do users think?
Cecelia Schneider: My kids practically lived at City Ballet for years. My daughter started dancing here at 3 and stayed all the way through high school graduation. City Ballet instilled such a love of ballet that both my kids continued to dance after high school. The annual Nutcracker production gave them the opportunity to feel like they were part of a professional show. It even inspired my daughter to pursue a career in the performing arts.
Avis HatcherPuzzo: Dance teachers are brilliant! Students LOVE them, best in the state, they say!
Willie Hinton: I've been on faculty at City Ballet for years. The talent I've seen nurtured by the incredible staff is a true testiment of the love and dedication they/ we have for our students.
Brittany Mora: This studio is unlike any other studio in Raleigh. Every student is valued and the owner has a true desire to share the best technical practices with all students. Staff are highly qualified and the focus is on dance scholarship and instruction for all rather than competition.
Emily Simpson Sabol: After initially finding this ballet school for my daughter I enrolled myself in their Adult Ballet class in the summer of '21, and I have loved every minute of it. The teachers have all been wonderful, supportive and encouraging, but I can't say enough about how awesome of a teacher Lynne is. She brings a level of joy to each class, not just for ballet but for music and body awareness. Her classes are fun and challenging in the best way. If you're an adult who has been thinking of putting on that leotard again or even if you've never danced before, consider giving this class a try!
gloria hinton: Great place
Meredith Cash: I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with City Ballet so far. Our daughter takes a ballet class in the preschool dance program. The teachers are amazing with her and the rest of the children. I love that there is a perfect balance of technique and fun for her age. I am excited to see our daughter grow into a skilled dancer here.
Diana Hogg: My daughter switched to City Ballet in August 2019 and it has been a wonderful experience for her. Interaction with teachers and fellow students was more than we could have hoped for. The teachers give attention to every student, with a lot of energy and encouragement. Their commitment to meeting each dancer where they are, and giving them the tools to grow, has been a breath of fresh air. During the COVID-19 pandemic, City Ballet went above and beyond to stay in contact with families and offer a large selection of classes. Having the ability to dance, even virtually from home, was so important to my daughter's mental health during that time. We cannot thank City Ballet teachers and staff enough for the confidence and joy they have inspired in our girl!
Jane Okafor: The place is so wonderful my daughter enjoys and they have great service.
Kim Tosch: Great food and service!
Jammer Joez: Daughter loved her time here!
Kelly Ojeda: This is our 10th year at City Ballet and we have been pleased with every aspect of the studio. The instruction is exceptional, the quality of the performances is top-notch (from costume design to professional choreography), and just the overall organization is well run. We appreciate all the time, commitment, and hard work that is dedicated to make each dancer their best!
Lisa Harris: My 10-year-old has taken ballet at City Ballet for nearly two years. She adores her instructor and was welcomed by the girls in her class. She attends class two times per week, and each time, looks forward to hearing the music and dancing. I recommend City Ballet, because it provides young people a chance to exercise, learn to dance in a professional and supportive environment, build their confidence, learn to appreciate the arts, and have fun.
