My two daughters have attended West Coast Ballet since September 2020. After doing a lot of research on various ballet schools, I found exactly what I was looking for; all that WestCoast Ballet offers -- a pre professional ballet school, not ones that the children wear a pretty tutu and prance around. I love this school for its structure combined with the loving approach they use to teach the children not only ballet but also valuable life skills like manners, empathy and how to be courteous. My children aren't ones to throw around "love" very much but within 3 months of them attending the school, they were telling their teachers they love them at the end of class while doing their curtsy along with their formal, end-of-class, farewells. I have recently moved further from this school but the 45 minute commute each way is beyond worth it. Seeing my daughters' transform into graceful, hard-working ballerinas is such a blessing. It was always (and still is) my dream to be a ballerina but I never pushed my children to take up ballet, they are passionate about it all on their own and thanks to West Coast Ballet, my dream is fulfilled because I get to watch my daughters living their dreams of becoming ballerinas. This past June, there was a performance put on by the students (including my oldest) in all the levels and I was in tears (happy ones) the whole time, watching all the parents' beautiful, talented and graceful children. This is an experience my children and I treasure. Thank you West Coast Ballet! :)
