I was impressed when I visited the theatre. It's one of those theater's in which you begin your talent, then move on to becoming great and always remember where your talent started from. I love the diversity and appreciate those that do speak Spanish to my daughter. The teachers seemed to care about each student and how well they perform. I am satisfied.

I thought this was gonna be a good school since a friend recommended us. But my 3 year old was scared of the teacher. She really has no patience, she yelled at my daughter because she wasn’t doing some of the stuff even though she was new and was on her 2nd time going. Keep in mind this are 3 year olds there obviously not gonna be as focused. She told me twice that her teacher hit her. I’m assuming she grabbed her a little rough and my daughter came out crying. The last time I took her she did not want to go in and was crying telling me she was scared. I honestly think she has no patience at

At El Paso Ballet Theatre, Marta Katz leads a ballet school and young professional company with great ambition and tremendous creativity, but does so in a positive, modern way. The students are well-trained and the productions are extraordinarily detailed.
She and the faculty are very clear about their high expectations, but are absolutely supportive of the effort put forth by the students and dance community of parents, former dancers, and volunteers in general who help to make EPBT the highest quality organization in El Paso for dance instruction and performance.
