My daughter has taken ballet lessons at Ballet Bellingham for a year now. We tried out several other local studios for multiple sessions before discovering Ballet Bellingham. My daughter loves her classes and that the studios focus is completely on ballet. Jessie does a wonderful job teaching and my daughter is thriving in her classes. I also appreciate that Jessie keeps prices are very reasonable which makes it easier for us to allow our daughter to take ballet several times a week. Our family warmly recommends Ballet Bellingham if you are looking for a ballet studio in Bellingham for your family.

Ive danced at a few different dance studios but Ballet Bellingham has been the best by far! Jessie is a very encouraging teacher and truly values all of her students. The studio environment is very positive and welcoming. Theres an excellent focus on developing strong ballet technique and performance skills, but all the while making sure that students are having fun through dance!

My five-year old daughter has been taking ballet at Ballet Bellingham for over two years, and she absolutely loves it. She not only has fun, but shes learning so much and making friends. She practically lives for the performances the teacher, Jessie, puts on at Mount Baker Theater. And Teacher Jessie is incredible with the kids. It has been a great experience.

Ignore the fake 1 star reviews, this place is stellar! Jessie is the hardest working dance instructor in town. She teaches all of the classes herself and choreographs and organizes the shows on her own. Shes amazing and my kids love taking classes with her! At Ballet Bellingham my kids have the opportunity to participate and learn in a way they couldnt at a larger studio. The feeling here is fun and relaxed--- we love it!

Ballet Bellingham is the most wonderful l, welcoming and uplifting studio I’ve encountered! The owner is so knowledgeable, hand ons with every student and super approachable. I always appreciate the warm environment and inclusive nature. The summer camps are incredible and my kiddos look forward to them every summer! Can’t say enough good things about this local business. Thank you so much for being such an awesome asset to our community! You’re the best!!

This studio is genuinely like my second home and Ms. Jessie and my fellow dancers are my second family. If wanting to dance at a supportive, open, friendly, and welcoming studio is a desire and what you’re looking for, I could not suggest a better place. Ms. Jessie, our teacher and director, is a phenomenal instructor and a very caring and compassionate person. I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to dance at Ballet Bellingham.

Hello! Nancy Whyte writing to tell you, if you are reading these reviews , that Jessie is a fine and wonderful teacher. I had the pleasure of teaching a master class for her studio this past summer, and found the level of her students impressive. The studio is lovely to work in, the atmosphere fosters learning and joy in dance. Jessie is great with children, and people of all ages.

My daughter just started ballet this past September. I needed an outlet for her to work off some energy. Ballet Bellingham is the only place I could find that offered a class for younger kids (3-5) on the weekends since I work full time and can get her to other places earlier. During the few months that we have been learning from Jesse, my daughter has learned so much and loves to go to ballet every weekend.

The 1 star reviews all seem to be fake.Jessie and Ballet Bellingham are gems. I first met Jessie when we were tweens and her talent and professionalism were apparent even then. Recently we used her studio for a tap refresher class. Great big space. Very clean and welcoming. Lots of easy parking in front of building.

Ballet Bellingham is the best. I have gone there almost from the beginning and it has been a great experience for me. I have learned lots of ballet throughout the years and been able to grow. I love the teacher (Jessie), she is an amazing teacher who loves to teach everybody.

Ballet Bellingham is the most open, friendly, and supportive dance studio I have ever been at. After taking a few years off dance, I was welcomed with open arms by director and owner, Jessie Crook. I had the opportunity to take skilled technique classes, perform in a variety of traditional and modern ballets, and and choreograph my own student pieces. As a life-long dancer, I cannot recommend this place more to anyone who is interested in learning about ballet, returning to ballet, or continuing their education. There is something at Ballet Bellingham for all ages and levels of experience!

I have known Jessie the owner since 4th grade. There is no way she would ever make ANYONE especially a child feel unwelcome in her studio. Dance has always been her passion. She truly cares about EVERYONE of her students very deeply and treats them as if they were her own!

My girls have been students here for several years now and they love being here. It’s a positive and caring environment and Jessica is a phenomenal instructor. Students learn proper technique, decorum, and more importantly they feel confident in their learning. As long as my kids are dancing they will be here.

My three girls have been dancing here for years. I’m always amazed how great Jessie is with littles and her ability to teach great technique within a positive environment. My girls love it here and we have made wonderful friendships!

I was asked to leave an honest review and it was deleted? What are you trying to hide, Jessie?If you’re looking for a “great” dance studio in Bellingham, this is not it. The instructor, Jessica Crook, creates a toxic, judgement environment that is not suitable for anyone to properly learn in. She has frequently talked smack about students while they were absent in front of other students and is overall extremely unprofessional. In addition, she has yelled at a student who decided to leave the studio, creating a fearful domain. Many of the students who attend this studio are young and impressionable girls who’s self esteem and morals will drop because of this establishment. I urge you to take your children to a different dance studio, nothing good will come out of Ballet Bellingham.

This studio is AWESOME!!! Jessie (the teacher) is a superhero and works so hard to make sure every dancer feels welcomed and appreciated. I don’t see why anyone would leave a one-star review towards this wonderful studio, especially a fake one.

Almost all of the one star reviews are from fake accounts that have never had reviews on other businesses, and are all spaced out by a minutes time. It is truly sad to see so many fake accounts make horrible reviews on such a wonderful dance studio.

Jessie, the teacher, is very unprofessional and does not create a positive learning environment. This dance studio is a joke.

This dance studio is not a positive learning space, it’s very stressful and the teacher is very inconsiderate. I would not recommend coming here!
