What People Are Saying
“We are so happy to have found this new ballet school! My child absolutely loves coming to class and looks forward to it every week. The instructors are patient, detail oriented, encouraging, and truly skilled at working with young dancers. They create a positive and supportive environment where children can learn proper technique while also building confidence and joy in dance. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up. As a parent, it’s wonderful to see my child growing, both in ability and in love for ballet. Their adult program is great too!”

“I was very impressed by Eric Hipolito’s teaching philosophy and the balance of discipline and humor he incorporates into his class. It’s evident that he demonstrates not only passion for dance but is genuinely committed to the development of these next generations. His energy, enthusiasm and encouragement for individual progress is commendable.”

“Really high caliber teachers at BCB who put classical ballet training, thorough instruction, care and patience with ballet students, no matter they are novel dancers who want to try the art form in a very welcoming setting, or advanced artists who want to polish their techniques and artistry. I very much enjoy Eric’s years of dancing and teaching at PNB prior to this studio, and Adrienne’s fun class with attentiveness to the details. They have youth classes too. Super easy drop in sign up and convenient location at Redmond Town Center. Highly recommended for ballet lovers!”

You can feel Mr. Hipolito’s passion for ballet and his strong interest in teaching. After just a few lessons, you can visibly feel the improvement. Mr. Hipolito is a great ballet teacher!”

“The best studio that I’ve found, after extensive searching. The owners are welcoming to dancers of all levels and want to nurture a community of curious, passionate students.
The instruction is incredible and follows a structure that sets students up for success, along with active feedback for real learning. Owners work hard to stay up to date on various teaching techniques so you never feel stuck, and are committed to supporting dancers on their ballet journey.
Administrative wise the studio is fast to respond to any questions and communicates very clearly+ with care. If you or your child want to be set up for success in the ballet world, just go here.”

“I’ve been taking adult intermediate lessons since the studio first opened, and I couldn’t be happier. The instructors are some of the best I’ve ever had, and the classes are thoughtfully paced. With a maximum of 10 students per class, each dancer receives individualized corrections—an essential part of learning and improving in ballet.
I highly recommend this studio for adult students at any level, even those with little or no prior ballet experience. It’s also an excellent choice for younger dancers, as the instructors bring extensive experience in teaching early levels.”
