We have had experience with multiple studios in town and discovering Ballet Bellingham was such a breath of fresh air! The instruction is high-caliber and instills proper technique, while maintaining a fun, inviting, respectful and drama-free environment for the students and families. The performances are handled very professionally and run like clockwork. Backstage sitters are hired for the younger ones and everyone knows where to be and when, so parents can sit back and enjoy the show without having to help run everything backstage. Regular newsletters are informative and keep everyone connected and aware. BB performs a Nutcracker at Mt. Baker Theatre, marches in the Jr Ski to Sea, highly polished end of year recital(also at Mt Baker), and summer camps and intensives are offered. Compared to other studios in town it is very reasonably priced! My daughter has grown so much as a dancer during her time at Ballet Bellingham and I whole-heartedly recommend this studio to anyone.
