Bella Ballerina Longwood

The classes themselves are enjoyable and the teachers are warm and professional — no complaints there. However, the cancellation policy is extremely rigid and, in my opinion, unfair. Even after clearly notifying them of cancellation due to moving out of state, we were still required to pay for an additional full month of classes that we could not attend at all. There are also penalties tied to those year-round enrollments. Policies are understandable, but a complete lack of flexibility — even in situations where attendance is impossible — is disappointing. From speaking with other parents, this doesn’t seem to be an isolated experience. Just be aware: it’s very easy to sign up, but significantly harder (and more costly) to get out than you might expect. I strongly recommend reviewing the cancellation terms carefully before enrolling.

My daughter absolutely LOVES Bella Ballerina! The staff is great and Christine goes above and beyond to create a super fun environment for the kiddos. My daughter has been in almost all of the weeks of summer camp and I can't even get her to leave when I pick her up - she has an absolute BLAST and looks forward to it every day. She has also taken several of the dance classes and loves those as well! Very well fun and cute!

Amazing Dance Studio, Amazing Teachers! This program teaches Jazz, Tap and Ballet through storytelling and Dress up. Last year Recital was the best! Can’t wait for this year’s. The special events throughout the year are definitely memory makers. Well done Bella Ballerina of Longwood!

My daughter had her 4th birthday party at Bella Ballerina Longwood. Omg. That whole thing was absolutely PERFECT! From booking the event to the actual day of the party was flawless. I booked the party about a month in advance and emailed with Christine the whole month about questions/party details, she was prompt and put me at ease especially during the holiday season. They took care of setting everything up and it looked amazing. The dance teachers who hosted made my daughters party so eventful and were amazing with the girls. They had a blast! They had craft activities, dances and cupcake/eating time planned for the girls. Party bags were adorable! The had a special crowning for the birthday girl with a beautiful crown that she is still wearing a week later! The cupcakes were cute and delicious. They had a coffee machine for the adults which was nice to have! All the parents were so impressed by the party as am I! I’m still in awe about how perfect my daughters party was. You can really tell that everyone at Bella Ballerina loves and cares about the girls who step foot there. They sure made all the girls at the party feel special especially the birthday girl! If you’re thinking about booking a party-DO IT AT BELLA BALLERINA!! It will be perfect for your little dancers.

Christine is pouring her heart and soul into this place- it is evident everywhere you look. I remember the first time we saw this place, it was about 7pm one Saturday evening and they were finishing painting the walls for the grand opening, and Christine and her mom welcomed us in and let us look around, and told us about the trial. We signed up for that and haven’t looked back. My girls LOVE it. McKenzie and Analee (spelling???sorry) are both wonderful instructors. Great energy and bubbly personalities, but have control over the class. I love the open concept and how inviting this place is. The story time is precious, and dressing up is a plus, but my oldest is learning some really neat techniques and enjoying it, while getting her feet wet. She’s 6, so I appreciate that it’s not demanding at this age while she’s figuring out what she likes. They get a dose of ballet, jazz and tap in each class which is cool. And they have the CUTEST Leo’s for sale. Reasonably priced too with great quality.
