The Ballet Conservatory of South Texas

★★★★★Jason Burris

I love the ballet conservatory of South Texas! Their teachers and their performances are second to none in the San Antonio area! Would recommend to anyone interested in having any of their children learn ballet!

I also did not have a positive experience w/ the adult ballet class. The instructor, Buse was condescending, at one point in class when a combination was not done correctly by anyone (maybe poor instruction?), she stopped and yelled, "This is not hard!" I did attend several classes as I pre-purchased them before knowing better, but only added the name here bc all of the various substitute teachers at the studio were pleasant and I enjoyed those classes.

I had a really disheartening and discouraging experience here tonight that made me uncomfortable enough to never want to return to this studio. I came to the adult beginners class, and had asked many times prior if this class was fit for beginners. I had taken one on Monday night with a different dance studio and had a wonderful experience with my instructor who was encouraging and made sure I was comfortable being that I am a newbie, but when I showed up here, I had the total opposite experience. I got laughed at by the instructor in front of everyone when I wasn't able keep up, I was embarrassed and didn't feel an ounce of encouragement from anyone in the room. One of the ballerinas even told me they don't know why this is called a "beginners" class because it's more advanced/intermediate. I felt really out of place and unwelcome. From the minute I walked in I felt that I was expected to keep up like the rest of the ballerinas who had previous ballet training for years, unlike the other studio where the instructor had the beginner ballerinas do separate things than the more advanced dancers based on their level of comfortability. All in all, if you want to be laughed at and leave discouraged, I would suggest this studio.

I take my son, Isak, here for his ballet classes. After his first class with them, he was hooked on the conservatory. They are fantastic with the kids and providee an especially supportive environment for the boys. He loves his classmates, his teacher, and the rest of the staff. He loves getting there a little early just to give hugs to the staff members he sees. He’s been dancing since he was 2, but just started here about seven months ago. We love the fact that the boys have a curriculum here that supports the expectations of the male dancer, rather than being merely an afterthought. I highly recommend this studio for anyone who wants to learn ballet, but especially for the boys!

We found the Ballet Conservatory of South Texas because of the proximity to Ft Sam Houston. As a military family, it was important for us to find a friendly studio with excellent training that focused on classical ballet instruction. We appreciate the consistency our daughter received at the Conservatory during our extended time here. She grew up and graduated from this program where she was challenged, motivated, encouraged, prepared, and deeply inspired. We highly recommend the Ballet Conservatory of South Texas to anyone, but especially military families who need a ballet home and family while passing through this area. We are grateful for BCSTX!
