I have been passionate about ballet for as long as I can remember and hope to instill that same lifelong love for this beautiful art in our students of all ages by cultivating a studio atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and supported regardless of their background, age, or motivation. I grew up in Germany and danced through my youth and college years.
Our studios ares equipped with a professionally sprung floor, and portable barres. We recently installed professional stage lighting which enables us to use part of our studio as an intimate performing space. We welcome inquiries from outside groups regarding the use of our space for workshops, special events or performances.
Join in and share the fun with your little dancer! The use of songs, rhyme, props and storytelling will guide your child through an exciting adventure. See your child's eyes light up, their confidence blossom and motor skills increase. The perfect way to introduce your little one to the wonderful world of dance and to meet little dancing friends!
We had so many parent requests for a class for their not quite three year olds that we decided to create a special class just for them. Parents can watch their child through our observation windows while socializing with other parents. Can I bring my child to a trial class? Our classes often fill up and bringing in a trial student is not fair to the students who are already enrolled and have gotten used to each others and the class structure.

Our 4 year old looks forward to her class each week. Miss Caroline has been amazing. She’s full of smiles but also keeps kids accountable. Her activities flow together well and no one is ever bored. Miss Stephanie has also been great with responding to our questions and helping us with a make up class time. Ten stars!

We found BalletU after searching for a place to have my daughter attend ballet lessons without us (she is speech delayed and needed time with adults who were not her parents). After she aged into older child programs at other studios, we stayed with BalletU due to the amazing instructors - they are kind, engaging, patient, and understand the importance of making ballet joyful and fun!

We've been part of this studio for six wonderful years. The kids classes are great. They allow progression from little dancers swirling in their tutus all the way to mature dancers on their pointe shoes. I'm impressed by how they can teach ballet technique even to my four-year-old. I witness how my older girls learn perseverance, hard work, and discipline through ballet. The teachers are knowledgeable and they really care about each student. There's a sense of community here -- we've gotten to know many other dancers and their families through the years.

It has been such a joy to watch my daughter grow at Ballet U. The kind, supportive instructors are fully focused on providing a positive and nurturing experience for each dance student. My daughter is learning creativity, discipline, fitness, self expression, and healthy habits in a supportive, student-oriented environment. I can’t recommend Ballet U enough, six stars out of five!

I highly recommend Ballet U. The teachers are amazing and treat their students with kindness, professionalism and the gift of dance. My daughter switched to Ballet U from another school and the progress she made was stunning! The support she received from her teachers was amazing. It not only improved her dance skill but also increased her self confidence.

I love that they instructors are so patient with the dancers and teach them discipline, gross motor skills, kindness, body awareness, and self confidence. It has been a joy to watch my children grow in their abilities and their love for ballet!

My daughter has been dancing at Ballet U for several years and has made great progress. The teachers have helped her gain solid fundamentals, with careful attention to technique. Small class sizes have served my young dancer well, and we appreciate the spring showcase recitals (conveniently held at the studio and without the need to purchase expensive costumes). She loves participating in the annual Nutcracker production (organized and led by Ballet U staff as part of Verona Youth Ballet) with many of her classmates and so looks forward to this tradition every year!

We've been so happy with our experience at Ballet U! Our son started when he was three years old, and within a month of starting classes already had new skills like being able to balance on one foot.
The classes have worked very well around our schedules.
The teachers are great at working with small children, and it's amazing how well they can get a group of little kids to listen and follow directions.
We highly recommend Ballet U!
