Thank you Washington State Arts Commission, 4Culture, City of Bellevue, Erin McEachran, and Video Producer John Holmes of Final Take Productions for making this series possible. Based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, 12 Dancing Princesses is a story about good overcoming evil, and the power of familial love.
Outreach is an essential part of Emerald Ballet Theatre's mission. Each year EBT brings the magic of motion into the lives of thousands of children throughout the Puget Sound as students, performers, and audience members. We have three types of outreach programs: Assemblies, Workshops and Informances.
The EBT Teaching Institute (TI) provides opportunities for older students to enhance their mental and physical wellness, and gain skills in the fields of teaching and community arts outreach. Dancers in 8th-12th grade are encouraged to participate in TI all five years to gain maximum benefit and exposure to a variety of pedagogy and practicum opportunities that build on one another.
Emerald Ballet Theatre is proud to present its fourteenth annual production of The Nutcracker featuring talented youth and adult performers, and gorgeous costumes and sets. The lovely Northshore Performing Arts Center in Bothell provides excellent views from every seat, and parking is ample, close and free.

My young son has participated for several years. The organization of a production can be a bit scary sometimes as a parent new to this scene but if you can just roll with it the productions are super well done and fun for everyone. All of the teachers are super supportive and lovely, especially Miss Sarah who teaches the boys class. Would recommend!!

We love this place! Their flower fairy camp is a hit! Their weekly 3-5 year old classes are wonderful.
My daughter cries when we have to miss a class. Mrs. Erin is her Wednesday instructor and couldn't be a more kind, patient and loving instructor. All of the kids run into class and come back with the happiest of smiles! We love Mrs. Erin!
In the summer we have attended their flower diary camp and the instructor who puts this on is in her element. She has creative art projects for the kids daily, she sets up the dance room like it's the most magical place and when I come to pick up

My daughter just started coming here after her first free trial class and she loves it! She looks forward to coming each week and Miss Chantall seems to be very patient with the preschool group.
Unfortunately the class is held in the back room so you can't really sit and watch them but the girls come out of class happy most of the time so it seems like it's going ok! There are about 10 preschoolers with one young ballerina helper (elementary-middle school age?) and one older one (high-school age) plus Miss Chantall herself.
The waiting room is very small but does have toys available

This review is for the ballet summer camp program. I would not recommend young little ballerinas enroll in the Princess dance camp. The instructors are not very warm and friendly and did not seem to do anything to get these little girls excited/engaged in the class. Each day at drop off I would see several ballerinas crying or hanging on to their moms not wanting to attend the class and yet the teachers never offered any form of support to engage the kids.
Not one teacher introduced herself to me the entire week and seemed even unreceptive to a smile or a simple "hello" upon drop

My 9 year old daughter is in her second year of training at Emerald Ballet after studying ballet at several other studios. We could not be more pleased with every aspect of this wonderful studio. Having studied ballet seriously myself for 7 years, I feel I have some knowledge with which to evaluate ballet instruction. My daughter has studied with several different instructors at EBA and every one of them has been superb. They are extremely knowledgeable, undeniably qualified and emphasize proper technique with each individual student constantly. The teachers encourage excellence and challenge

We left PNB to come to Emerald Ballet Theatre because my daughter found EBT more fun, we felt the atmosphere was more warm and welcoming (they don't bar you from class if you are late, you can leave class to go to the restroom, parents can watch classes), the parents/instructors were more friendly and down to earth, and she can perform in a full-scale professional ballet at least twice a year. They also have allowed her to participate in choreography. She started there in 3rd grade and now she's Ballet V (high school). The instructors have taught her discipline, etiquette, responsibility

Our daughter (8 yo) has been at Emerald Ballet since September 2009. She has always enjoyed her classes and teachers. I like the fact that every child gets the opportunity of being part of their annual performance show - no audition - depending on their skills, they might be given opportunities for special parts. We took Miss Viktoria's recommendation to follow stretching class, and this has allowed our daughter to improve tremendously.
So far, we are very happy with this studio.

Not impressed. My daughter has been in ballet for many years and she took their Summer Intensive this year. The instructors are lax (don't require the etiquette of classical ballet) as you see kids running in and out of class and talking etc.. The most appalling thing was that my 10 year old was told she could go en Pointe while there (event though she had never had any pre-pointe instruction). They put her in shoes and said go for it. Those of you who know ballet realize this is unheard of and also dangerous for a young dancer. I will say that the instructors were friendly and welcoming
