We are huge fan of Sara and Erlends. They are the expert of traditional classical ballet, and we love their teaching style as they stress on the basic foundations that will last forever in pursuing Ballet. If you are looking to something genuine authentic one, we definitely recommend this place.

Ballet Arte is a hidden gem of a studio that provides world-class ballet training. My daughters have been training with Ballet Arte for years. Sara and Erlends are true professionals, completely dedicated to teaching their students with the highest standards and devotion. The annual Nutcracker and spring performances (La Bayadere, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake) are cherished traditions. Many dancers also compete, and have gone on to dance in leading companies, or in college. The overall ambiance and energy of the entire studio is serious, yet incredibly supportive and joyous. We are

My girls danced with Sara and Erlends from grade school through high school. They learned not only pirouettes and balancee's, presentation and stage presence, they also learned how to make friends, follow through with commitments, and manage time wisely.

If you are looking for a ballet studio in San Diego we highly recommend Ballet Arte!! Ms Sara and Mr Erlends are so sweet and professional. They are the dream team of teachers. Amazing with little ones! We have loved watching five years of performances and can't wait for more to come. The growth and strength of students including a little ballerina in our family is amazing. This is a photo of her class when she first started five years ago. Now she's beyond us taking pictures of her in class! Lol Her love of ballet has only grown through the years and it's due to the wonderful teachers

This studio has been such a gift to my daughter! They specialize in the highest quality technical training, but with enormous love and dedication to their students. They turn out professional dancers and send students off to major companies, but Ballet Arte is also a fantastic place for a child that just wants to learn ballet, have fun, and meet wonderful friends in a safe environment. Sara and Erlends are the best!

Ballet Arte provides a superlative dance experience. The classes they offer are not your average children’s ballet class. They instill the discipline and artistic appreciation of ballet in even their youngest dancers. I have never seen such a professional production of the Nutcracker Ballet as the Ballet Arte Nutcracker production. The soloist dancers were exquisite in their execution of the ballet and everyone else, including the very youngest cast members, danced as in unison as an ensemble. I have never seen another group of four year olds move with such coordination as the members of the

Ballet Arte is an outstanding Ballet Studio. The Directors and instructors Erlends and Sara are exceptional. They both provide excellent training to all their students. My two daughters 11 and 14 love taking classes there every day. They have been dancing there for several years. They both audition and are accepted to the most prestigious Ballet Summer Intensives every year as well as get invited to Year Round Programs. The teachers from the intensives are always impressed by Ballet Arte's students ballet and pointe technique. The girls can't wait for this season coming up and many more

My doughtier was lucky enough to find and to attend Ballet Arte. I can't write enough about this studio and the teachers who are also the owners - Erlends Zieminch and Sara Viale. We have been in many studios before and I have to say this is by far the best one. The level of commitment and professionalism is superb. You can tell Sara and Erlends really like and care about what they do. The same I can say about the kids who attend this school. Everyone works very hard, but at the same time it's very warm and family like environment. Parents are friendly and kids are very nice. When we

My daughter has been dancing since she was 4 (over 8 years) so I know a little about studios, teachers, floors etc. Circumstance led us to Ballet Arte, while not the most convenient place for us since we don't live near Solana, hands down some of the best classes and instruction she has ever had. Love it.
