Testimonials

“Our journey started when we tried to find a ballet class that was inclusive, supportive, and patient. Knowing how beneficial ballet can be for balance, flexibility, strength, motor skills, and instructional structure…We have been so overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude, that there is a place like Ballet For All Kids.”

- Yvonne K., BFAK Parent

“Ballet For All Kids (BFAK) is a wonderful dance program. It has given both of my daughters the opportunity to learn classical ballet, tap and jazz. Kids of all abilities and disabilities are welcome here to learn dance. There is an annual dance recital and this studio has also put on a fully inclusive production of the Nutcracker. BFAK also has volunteer opportunities for people who would like to help kids who need more assistance in class. The incredible Miss Bonnie, who started BFAK, has high expectations for her students and she believes in her students. She works so hard and is so passionate about what she does. We are so fortunate to have BFAK in our area as an opportunity for ALL kids to learn to dance.”

-Erin, BFAK Parent

“Since my daughter started BFAK at about 7 years old, (she is now 19) she has gained tremendous strength, balance and coordination as well as the ability to participate in dance classes at the High school level. She has grown into a confident, social and happy young lady.”

-Vicky, BFAK Parent

“My son has thrived for 8 years now with BFAK. The mention of attending another studio even in addition to BFAK is like the worst idea imaginable. He has confidence as he achieves greater strength and skill, and it is the one place he genuinely feels like he belongs and knows he can be himself.”

-Jamie, BFAK Parent

“Since I found Ballet for All Kids (virtual), she has something to look forward to every weekend. She is able to dance with her peers and she adores her teacher. This gives her a much-needed break from her parents and her big brother and allows her to move her body and keep up her practice IN SAFETY. I've set up a recurring monthly donation to the school and couldn't be more pleased with how warm and welcoming this class has been. Truly exactly what we needed at exactly the right time.”

-Desiree, BFAK Parent

“I have been volunteering with Ballet For All Kids for the past 4 years, and it has been an amazing experience. I have loved getting to dance with kids of all abilities, and see them learn and grow overtime. Ballet For All Kids is a community for all involved, and I feel like to the kids we aren't only volunteers, but are really their friends. During the pandemic, I have loved still getting to connect with the teachers, kids, and volunteers virtually so that we can still dance and learn together, even though we are apart. Volunteering at BFAK has always been the highlight of my week, and that continues to stay true even during this pandemic. I am so grateful for all the wonderful experiences I've had and people I've met through Ballet For All Kids.”

“Ms. Bonnie is an amazing teacher. Even through zoom classes she is able to connect with students so well and brings so much excitement to the whole lesson. My daughter looks forward to her classes every week.”

-Abeera, BFAK Parent

“Ballet For All Kids has given my daughter something to look forward to, and be a part of. Ballet is helping her to forge her own identity. It is helping her to connect her mind and body. We are very grateful to Ballet For All Kids for introducing ballet to our daughter, and for the consistent, patient, and kind instruction that she receives.”

-BFAK Parent

“You guys are such an amazing studio. I am super happy that I am still able to take ballet and tap virtually because of you, even if we may not be in the same state. Thank you for excepting people with disabilities - it means a lot. Thank you so much for doing your best to instruct me as a blind dancer. Love the inclusion and how the teachers know we can dance and push us to our full potential. That’s what everyone in life should do for us. I love you all.”
