Testimonials

“They're really dancing. really learning. really happy.Thanks for your excellence. ”

“I have been 100% impressed with the instruction that Isabella has received under Miss Jaye. In such a short period of time her skill level, improvement & interest has increased tremendously & I would like to applaud Miss Jaye for the detailed instruction she has been applying to her classes. There has been a world of difference from last year to this year as far as the general knowledge of ballet & movements. I have found that the instructional challenges that have been brought forth by Miss Jaye have been welcomed with open arms & are continually practiced at home to work on the "perfection" of specific movements, foot positioning, etc.”

“Napa Valley Ballet has provided a wonderful, enriching experience for our preschool daughter… (she) comes home after practice and dances for us because she is so proud of what she is learning. Napa Valley Ballet has established a culture in which we are a family, and we look forward to the recitals when we get to experience our student’s love of dance together.”

“My daughter, Taylor, has been going to Napa Valley Ballet from ages 4 to 5. In this short time, we have witnessed amazing growth in our daughter. We know some of this comes from the opportunities she has had through Napa Valley Ballet… We want to thank Napa Valley Ballet for their dedication to our kids and for the love of ballet! Thank you.”

“When observing my daughter in the pre-ballet class, I was amazed at the ability of our youngest students to follow directions for 45 minutes and continue to keep pace with the instructor. What an excellent preparation for Kindergarten! Our students are not only learning ballet skills, but listening and behavioral skills as well!”

“My daughter has been doing ballet at Napa Valley Ballet for nearly two years, starting age 9, and her progress has amazed me. At the June recital, her confidence on stage was astounding. I remember being shocked when I realized she would be alone on the stage with two other girls and perform a long, slow deliberate dance. I was so nervous for her. But in the darkened auditorium, she came out into the lights on the stage, and began with the music. She never once looked frozen with fear or uncertain about her next move. Her poise is lovely. In her daily life, her movements have become graceful, her posture straight, her head held high, and she now hums little bits of classical music. I can't think of any other extracurricular activity that offers so much!”

“Thank you so much for the incredible organization, care and work that went into creating this amazing show. This was a first for (us) and we were just thrilled.”

“Thank you as well for the beautiful recital! All of the work of the parent advisors and teachers was so evident and we only wish that we could live it over and over a few more times!”
