Professional Ballet Classes in Spokane

“They teach classical ballet without pressure of competition”

“We love BAA, from its curriculum, technique, Ms Mimi, is an amazing teacher! her dedication and way of teaching, has made my daughter regain her self-confidence and enjoy ballet again. We are happy we choose BAA!”

“Today was our daughter and her best friends recital, we were so proud watching them up on stage and seeing how much they’ve learned. Ballet Arts Academy was the first and only ballet studio I looked at when we signed our daughter up last year for ballet, this is the end of her second year. She has loved every moment of it and so have we. Miss Kenzie has been her teacher both years and our daughter adores her so much that when we told her we don’t know if she will have Miss Kenzie next year or if she will have a different teacher, she cried and asked if she could video call Miss Kenzie to see her still. Miss Kenzie has been SO patient and loving, I’ll be sad if we don’t see her next year too! Miss Christy is always so kind and helpful, I have emailed a million times with questions and she always gets back to me. She’s very informative and always in the know, if you need a question answered, she’s your gal. We will be back for a third year next fall, we love it here and recommend giving them a try if you’re looking at getting your littles into ballet classes. The people here deserve so much love for all they do. Thank you Ballet Arts Academy!”

“We have two daughters at BAA and have been dancing with them for two years. We were drawn to this academy because of their focus on classical philosophy, technique and development of strength and character. Mimi has an outstanding teaching philosophy and she has created an environment to inspire the highest level of art in the heart of her students. We're so thankful for the opportunity to dance with the inspiring role models found in Mimi and her amazing staff. Its truly a treasure in Spokane, WA.”

“Best ballet instruction in Eastern Washington. Professional, so much talent and expertise!! I am amazed at the progression we have seen. The performances put on are truly a full production for dancers at all levels to participate. The staff are so great with all the dancers and families, we would never go to any other studio!”

“We’ve really grown and enjoyed our experience at Ballet Arts Academy. I looked at a few different programs in the area. It was neat to trial the ballet classes first to see which one would be a better fit. This last season we took part in the nutcracker production, which was pretty special. The level of instruction and professionalism is readily apparent.”

“We enrolled here after trying one class! My daughter had been taking ballet elsewhere in town and we were so impressed with Ballet Arts Academy’s professionalism, kind teachers and staff and inspiring atmosphere!”

“We chose Ballet Arts Academy for the curriculum based training and rigorous training of the teachers. The teachers stay active with annual testing/trainings. Additionally, at each level of dance courses, students meet specified criteria to ensure their proper development for each stage of dance. It’s a very academic setting that prepares the ballerina for a career in dance.”

“My daughter and I love Ballet Arts Academy. Such a wonderful and welcoming studio. Everyone we have met at the studio has been so kind, knowledgeable and helpful. My daughter has grown and learned so much from Mrs.Kenzie who is an exceptional instructor at Ballet Arts Academy.”

“I love this place. Their so nice! Good prices!”

“Can not recommend this dance studio enough! Especially for your littles. We moved from a different studio with our daughter, and after a year here, we have been nothing but happy since. The instructors are amazing and helpful, they truly care for your kids and want them to be the best they can be inside and outside the ballet studio.”

“Best school to send ur Dancer to! Amazing Teachers! My Daughter won the Jim Chase Award for Creativity from being "All she could Be" in Dance, Theater Ballet 🩰, Ballet Arts Academy, Free School of Ballet Teacher Volunteer, Cheerleader, Band at North Central High School! Awesome Memories!”

“Amazing classical Ballet school with excellent teachers who care about their students! Technique is taught with enthusiasm and allows dancers to grow in their art.”

“Very welcoming and informative.”

“I’ve been dancing at Ballet Arts Academy since the age of 10. That’s just about 5 years ago and I can say from experience my time here has been amazing. We’re very welcoming and have amazing training with a stellar teacher. I’ve progressed so much during my time here at Ballet Arts Academy. it’s taught me discipline, respect, perseverance, striving for goals, and so much more. I’m now 15 and will be attending a summer session in Philadelphia on a full ride 100% scholarship. If you’re looking for a prestigious dance studio I do believe Ballet Arts Academy has the best training in Spokane!”

“We help take our 4 year old granddaughter here Saturday mornings. I love the look and feel of what they've captured here. It has a very New York throw back feel to it. Every one working here seems very nice and good with the little beginners that are still struggling to stand still.”

“I’m very glad my daughter has the opportunity to go here to learn Ballet. Everyone here is amazing from the teachers, students, and even the parents of the students. Just an absolutely amazing place to learn.”

“Ballet Arts Academy has been the best, most healthy change for our dancer...she is growing daily in confidence and technique! We are so grateful for Miss Mimi's healthy and inviting atmosphere and the care and attention she gives to every student. If you are looking for a place that your dancer can make real progress in a healthy (non-"Dance Mom"/teacher) environment, this is the place for you!”

“I couldn't ask for a better dance studio. They are very professional and great with the kids!! I recommend this place to everyone!!”

“My 13 year old daughter is dancing here and she absolutely loves it. Miss Mimi is hands on and wonderful.”

“Our 4 year old just started dancing at Ballet Arts Academy. We are so thrilled with the staff and the classes. Our daughter is so excited to go back every week she can hardly wait. We cannot wait to watch her grow with them as a dancer. Definitely recommend them!!”

“Ballet Arts Academy is a fantastic place to bring your dancer. Ms. Mimi is full of energy, positive with every student, and passionate about teaching each of her students as much as she can about ballet. She takes time to work with every student and sees the best in them. My daughter is thriving in the environment of this studio with an excellent, knowledgeable teacher. She feels welcomed, accepted for who she is, and encouraged daily to be the best she can be! I highly recommend bringing your child to Ballet Arts Academy!”

“Great Ballet Studio. Brought my daughter here from another studio and she learned more in 2 weeks about ballet than she learned from doing Ballet the past 2 years somewhere else. Mimi has a great way of teaching and is very hands-on. Every dancer gets her undivided attention. We look forward to our future with Ballet Arts Academy.”

“Wonderful everyone is so nice. My 4 year old granddaughter just loves it.”

“Love this place”

“I started at Ballet Arts when I was young and grew up with this company, from the time it was above Chicken N Mo to the move to this location, to Mimi becoming the director. Pam, Dodie, Peggy, and Sarah were integral parts of my childhood. My greatest childhood memories were at BAA, during summer intensive and Nutcracker practices! I miss it so much. BAA is an incredible ballet academy and the most professional in the area, in my opinion. The training at BAA prepares for your professional ballet schools, YAGP, etc. BAA has been around for a long time and of all the dance schools I’ve been apart of, BAA puts out the best dancers in terms of technique and professionalism.”

“If you are looking for the best ballet training in Spokane this is it! We have only lived here for 1 1/2 years and have tried 3 places. This is by far the best. Mimi is amazing with the kids. One of my favorite things is, she actually dances with the kids, shows them what she is wanting them to do with their bodies. Everyone from the students to the parents are so welcoming to new families which is such a breath of fresh air.”

“I love this place! The owner is such a great teacher, very professional and super friendly, totally recommend”

“Everything about this school is amazing. The structure and discipline are beyond fantastic, and the loving teachers balance it out to make it the perfect place to have your child attend.”
