Lumiere Ballet Co

We were introduced to Lumiere by a friend and we wish we had known about this studio and Svetlana sooner. Our daughter was attending a ballet studio in Bohemia where the classes were big and the teacher was too young (a student herself I’m sure) and unable to control a class full of 6 year olds. So, we stopped going. It’s too bad I didn’t ask around then because my daughter missed two valuable years. That being said, I emailed the studio (address was on the Web) and I received a response within 48 hours. Svetlana was very friendly and asked that we come in and see how my daughter liked the class. We could then decide if we wanted to continue on. That was a few months ago, well into the year. I could tell instantly that this was the perfect place. Emphasis is on technique but it’s not stodgy or stern. This is a serious ballet studio but warm and friendly. The graduation performance was this past week-​end and it was excellent. It was not the kind of dance performance/​recital that makes you curse the fact that you spent a fortune on a tacky costume, watch bad choreography and wished you had brought something to do while you wait for your kid to perform. This was a high quality performance. I’m a raving fan of Svetlana and Lumiere Ballet. Check it out.
