We are so happy to have found our ballet home at Ballet Theatre of Carmel! Our 11 year old daughter loves the instructors and her fellow dancers, and we love that the studio environment is supportive and inclusive. And the performances....WOW! Last year was our first experience with full length ballets, and The Nutcracker in December and the spring Sleeping Beauty were fantastic experiences - backstage, onstage, and in the audience!

Wonderful, pre-professional ballet training in a supportive, nurturing environment. Faculty foster a sense of camaraderie among their dancers rather than competitiveness. After six years here, my daughter still loves to dance...instructors know that the love and joy of dance is just as important as technique...and are able to teach excellent technique while keeping dance enjoyable for the students.

My daughter, 11, just began ballet last year and Ballet Theater of Carmel has been wonderful for her. The directors talent and expertise, coupled with the loving and supportive environment, has been key to her development, not only as a dancer, but as a young woman. I cannot speak more highly of Ms. Nicole and Ms. Sarah as her instructors either. There is definitely a family feel to this studio and yet they also produce professional ballerinas. Beginner and pre-professional alike are invited to participate fully in the performances each winter and spring. Bonus opportunities also arise to perform at art fairs--what a fun experience for my girl! My daughter loves BTCA. Thank you!

We have loved BTCA for our young dancers. Our girls are 4 and 6 and have loved every minute of it. It is a warm and encouraging environment with the best of the best in training and technique. As a former dancer, I can say with confidence that this is a good school for my daughters.

The program at the Ballet Theartre of Carmel is amazing and the staff and instructors are so friendly and talented. The ballet being taught here is exceptional. So grateful that my childs first ballet experience is with BTCA. We love it here.

My two daughters and son have danced for Jane and Frank for a collective 18 seasons. In addition to imparting their years of professional experience, they not only care for the skill of your dancer, they are also good stewards of their souls. BTC has been their home away from home.

We attended the Nutcracker this past year, it was wonderful! First class for a pre-professional program. Lovely costumes, backdrops and ballet training.

Positive, encouraging dance training. Beautiful shows!
