What families say

“As a teacher myself, I’ve been so impressed at how all the TBSPA teachers have kept my kiddo engaged on Zoom, still moving and still loving dance. Additionally, we are so impressed with the slow, cautious and safe way the reopening is being handled – I honestly feel more safe sending my daughter back for in-person ballet than I do with academic school plans to reopen.” — Parent
