Im a fellow ballerina of 16 years and 8 years of theater and music. I also taught for a few years so Im super picky when it comes to choosing a dance studio for my girls. I absolutely adore the teachers and I love the discipline and respect they expect out of the students. They are very strict in the foundation of ballet which is what I look for in a dance studio. They are also very personable with the kids and have a fun and safe environment. I will recommend this studio to anyone that wants to take their dance techniques to the next level.

HCD is an amazing studio with amazing teachers! I’ve been a student for a few years now and have loved every second of it. I came into this studio a little later in age than most girls, but the teachers made me feel so comfortable and were more than willing to help me catch up! Overall, a wonderful studio that provides so many opportunities for their students.

The most professional Ballet School in Nebraska. Classical training with the most professional staff. A loving and caring environment for all children. Truly a fabulous place.

Great teachers and a wonderful environment!

Top notch dance instructors. Top notch people.

Rachel and her teachers give high quality instruction to dancers of all ages. They are committed to developing ballet technique through age- and skill-appropriate programs, and to providing performance opportunities for dancers who are at a preprofessional level.

My 9 year old daughter transferred to this studio two years ago. We were drawn there for a few reasons, including the opportunity to perform in full-length ballet theatre productions (on top of end of the year showcase recital)! My daughter began to truly blossom and is thriving in this environment where she is given high quality instruction while being encouraged to develop into a well-rounded young lady.

Heartland Conservatory has been my home for dance my entire life. There are a number of things that keep me coming back. The teachers are amazing, the studio environment is open, respectful, and friendly, and there are extensive performance opportunities both in and outside of Heartland Youth Ballet. I have learned so much about dance and life through being a student here. Heartland taught me that having a ballerina body is not what makes you a good dancer, that hard work and dedication are just as important as talent, and that perseverance and patience are crucial to making it in the dance world and life in general. I learned that people look at your character and the way you treat other people as much as your actual abilities. Currently Im entering my third year of college, double-majoring in dance and anthropology, and I could not have gotten here without my experiences at Heartland Conservatory. I know how to perform and how to conduct myself in dance situations because of Heartland, and HYBs participation in the Regional Dance America festival opened so many opportunities for summer intensives and higher education that I would not have gotten otherwise. I definitely recommend this studio as a place to both take classes for fun and seriously study dance. I have had such a good experience here, and would suggest it to anyone looking for a studio in the Omaha area!

This dance studio is absolutely beautiful! You receive a warm and friendly welcome when you come in The instructors are truly focused on giving your child (or yourself if your taking dance) the best possible training anywhere.Opportunities are endless. Ballet, tap, jazz, musical theater and even a class for boys is offered on Saturday mornings. Two ballets are put on each year and of course the showcase at the end of each year. Miss Rachel is so amazing and so dedicated to her students. I would encourage anyone who loves dance or has a child looking for the best place to attend, to please stop in and visit with Rachel and take a tour.

HCD offers more than professional dance instructors, there is also the opportunity to to perform throughout the community, by auditioning for Heartland Youth Ballet. Miss Rachel helps her students grow and develop both physically and mentally while building their self esteem and confidence.Her studio is absolutely beautiful! I particularly like that she provides daytime classes two mornings a week, this is popular for moms with little ones who prefer morning classes. This has been popular, because many if these moms also visit together while watching their child dance.Please call or stop by today!

I honestly have nothing but good things to say about Heartland Conservatory of Dance. We have been with the studio since 2017. I currently have a girl and boy involved with the ballet classes and myself when able, utilize the fantastic Pilates studio. I am continually impressed by the instruction and care offered at this studio. All of the instruction is to the benefit of each individual student and they want nothing more than to see your child succeed. Currently, as someone who works in healthcare, I really appreciate the studio offering spring and summer classes through zoom so that my kids can continue to socially distance as well as continue their learning. HCD is simply the best and I’m so glad we became part of the family.

I have been a dance professor and the executive director on a nationally recognized arts education program for more than 20 years. If you have a student in the Omaha area that is interested in dance training I would strongly recommend Heartland Conservatory of Dance. This is an outstanding program backed with technical knowledge and professional experience!

Beautiful studio with amazing, knowledgeable teachers. It is the place to go for strict ballet AND fun tap, jazz, modern,..etc.

We love the instruction, programming and dedication to the art of true dance. Experienced and knowledgeable teachers and the staff are so friendly.

My daughter has had best experience at Heartland Conservatory of Dance, She cant wait to go to class everyday. The teachers are excellent. They care about their students and provide quality instruction second to none . I have been so blessed to find HCD and watch my daughter grow as both a dancer and a young lady. To learn the fundamentals that allow her to keep her passion alive and be the best dancer she can be.

This is the place you want your dancer to learn from. Everyone cares so much for the children and ensures that each child not only learns the art of dance but teaches life lessons as well. Rachel Hartley cares so much for these children as well as all of the teachers that work with them.

A beautiful dance studio with very professional dance instruction. If you are interested in ballet classes. This is the best place for instruction in the Omaha area.

Our daughter has not only received high quality instruction, but feels genuinely connected to her peers and teachers through a mutual love of ballet.

I love taking class at HCD because the teachers really care and focus and on your future as a dancer.

Our family moved from Seattle to Omaha this past year, and were hoping that we could find a dance studio for our daughter that was of the same caliber as her previous ballet school. We were fortunate enough to learn of Rachel Vickrey and Robin Welch through a lucky conversation with a stranger on an airplane to Omaha. Once we contacted Rachel, we learned that she and Robin had been connected personally and professionally to our daughters previous ballet teacher- we knew instantly that we had found the right place. Our daughter has enjoyed every minute of her classes at Heartland Conservatory of Dance and has even mentioned on occasion that she enjoys dancing here more than she did back in Seattle because of the personal attention she gets from her teachers along with many more opportunities to perform. The teachers at HCD truly care about each of their students and strive to provide the absolute highest quality ballet instruction in all of Omaha. The dancers learn wonderful technique, build discipline, make lasting friendships and are encouraged daily to be their best selves in and out of the dance studio. We have found our dance family and cannot recommend HCD highly enough!

Since Ive come here Ive gotten much better!💖💗💝💓
