hello! looking for recommendations for a ballet class for my 5 year old daughter, starting K this fall. We live in Bethesda close to the river and the DC line, and for this age/level I am just looking for something fun and convenient to our house (no more than 20 min drive). The nearby studios I am aware of are Washington School of Ballet, Ovations, Bethesda Conservatory of Dance. Thoughts on these programs / any others I'm missing? |
Rock Spring Dance Academy - low key (no dance moms), nice people, and as serious as you want to be |
WSB is super serious.
Ovations is respected locally. Bethesda Conservatory of Dance is nationally well regarded as the goal standard in developmentally dance. My kids love it. Fun and low stress. Great staff. To be fair, I work in high level dance and that is where my kids go. They are 4th, 2nd, and pre-k. |
