"To me SBC is a wonderful community of family and friends where I can learn, grow, reach my goals, and experience amazing opportunities that I will remember forever!-"-Pre Pro dancer
" SBC means family. Since it is a small studio, everyone knows each other’s names and has a relationship with them. I am so lucky to have found my very best friends at skye. I love spending time with them inside and out of the studio. I also love that I get to have a relationship with the younger girls at the studio. Seeing them grow as dancers and people make me so grateful for our community. The teachers are also like family to me. They have so much support for me and everyone else at this studio whether it relates to dance or not. " -Pre Pro dancer
"Skye Ballet Center is a place where they really push the individuality of each dancer. Although some places look at technique, Skye Ballet Center focuses on making each dancer their own personal best. My time at Skye Ballet Center has taught me so much about ballet, but also about being a good person. The ballet community may be competitive at times but I have learned that we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Skye Ballet Center has taught me to always listen to the adults in the room, and to show that you are listening to them and show that you care. Skye Ballet Center is a place where I have improved and grown with many wonderful teachers who have helped me become a better dancer. Each correction and each class just tells you how you can become better. I love being in a community where I can truly be committed to the art form I love so much. In all the years that I have been dancing with Skye Ballet Center, this studio has become a second home to me. I truly am blessed to have found such a wonderful studio. 💗"

"Community! Community is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Skye Ballet. I made my best friends at Skye, and the older girls are so loving and encouraging. Skye is my second home; I always leave with a smile on my face! " Advanced dancer
"Skye Ballet is our fourth studio and our forever studio now! The schedule is well known; I always know when and where to be. The parent community is supportive and there is no drama. The costs are well known, reasonable, and there are no surprises. The opportunities to excel and participate in competitions is available. The instruction and choreography is professional and top notch, as well as the costumes! The teachers are loved and respected by the girls. The number one thing is, my child always comes out with a smile on her face! " Parent of Advanced dancer

"I feel like sbc is home. It's safe, nobody is mean, I can trust people and my teachers. When I came there it was not like my old studio. I learned more in one day than I learned the whole year before, practically. It saved ballet for me. Now I've learned so much and I've grown a lot, and it's been amazing to be there. I feel like I can dance and be who I want to be, show my feelings and dance, and it makes me feel free.."- Intermediate dancer
"Skye Ballet Center has been so meaningful to our family because of the unwavering support my daughter has received there. After a long search and after trying many dance studios and programs, we were led to SBC where my daughter was embraced and uplifted immediately. We have loved the small, intimate size where she can learn and grow in an environment that isn't overwhelming; where she is getting plenty of feedback and correction, but still being pushed and encouraged by amazing, talented teachers who she trusts and adores. The friendships she has made there have been such a positive influence in her life, and the mentoring and sisterhood from older students have ignited a desire to grow as a dancer more than she ever has before. We are so thankful for SBC, and so very grateful we found it at such a formative time in her life." Parent of Intermediate dancer
