My daughter has gone to the Ballet Academy for several years. She did really well in the in lower levels and especially loved Miss Allison and Miss Tammie. However, when she got to the upper levels SOME of the faculty were less encouraging. The more people I watched the more I learned that if your child did not have perfect feet and a perfect ballet build she would not be given the opportunity for advancing. There is definite favoritism at the older levels and management only seems to care about the kids who will bring glory by landing a position on a professional company.

Ballet Academy of Texas is a wonderful school with a magnificent atmosphere for forming well-trained dancers! Even the other parents were friendly and inviting at this studio. Teachers are helpful, professional and highly skilled. I am amazed how instructors hone the students abilities, while at the same time, instructors make classes creative using a variety of methods and techniques. You see so much growth in each student. I love this place!!

A great place for our daughter! We've been a part of the BAT family for 2 years. When my daughter wanted to start dance again, I sought out a place that would provide long-lasting opportunities for her...one grounded in solid foundational dance skills...one that ensures the safety, skill, and proper techniques for the dancers above all else...one that provides the dancers an opportunity to perform but never showcases them with inappropriate dances or costumes. BAT is all that and more! We're excited to go into our third year with BAT and hope that we can enjoy many more with the teachers and other

This school is very large, overcrowded, impersonal and inefficient. If your child does not "have what they are looking for" they are categorized, discounted and become part of the revenue mill used to fill classes and generate money for the school. A few of the instructors are caring and hard-working, but others are incompetent and disinterested -- just plain lazy. There is no cohesive syllabus or ballet method that is pursued. Some instructors are American Ballet Certified; those who are not are looked down on. For example, my child was recommended for promotion by her instructor; it was overruled

We love the Ballet Academy of Texas! My girls have been taking ballet classes here for almost 7 years and I've also taken the adult classes and enjoyed them. The teachers are wonderful and lay a good foundation for technique as dancers progress. I always recommend BAT to friends looking for a dance studio!

My daughter is now 14 and is in her second year of being in toe shoes. She has had most every teacher here and has loved them all! This school is a wonderful school for learning ballet. They do teach a curriculum and take what they do very seriously. They are professional and genuinely want to teach their craft to the kids. I have found that my daughter is given constructive critique but I'm equally hearing her remark about the compliments and praise she receives. The director has been one of her teachers every year. She is involved and know each child. She has remained one of my child's favorite

From a loving Aunt's perspective, Ballet Academy is far beyond 5 stars. The staff at the studio take great lengths into making every child young and old feel like they are part of their family. I have watched my niece from age 3 to now 8 grow into a perfect little ballerina. The staff is not only professional in their skill set, but also loving, kind, and considerate of the students and parents. The training as well as teaching young students to love ballet is incomparable to any academy in the metroplex.

I have 2 daughters ages 9 and 14 at BAT and they love going to dance every time! In the 3.5 years we have been with BAT my daughters have received excellent and disciplined training while still having fun. They love being able to participate in the yearly Nutcracker production. Every instructor is professional and their love for teaching dance is evident. We drive from McKinney just so they can attend this studio and learn dance from ABT certified teachers.

My daughter, who is 14, has been a student at the Ballet Academy of Texas since she was 3. I cannot imagine her having a better dance education. All of her teachers ( and she has had all of them) have been kind, supportive, and focused on providing a high quality dance education to all students from the very beginning. She has loved dancing at BAT since her very first class in 2006, and still loves it today!! In addition, I have always found the director, as well as the rest of the staff, to be very responsive to any questions or concerns that I have. Emails and phone calls are quickly returned
