Pioneer Valley Ballet

"I danced at PVB since my first show when I was 7 to when I graduated. Any involvement with the teachers and productions are something truly magical to be a part of wether it be auditioning for the Nutcracker or taking weekly classes. For the pre-professional classes, the training I received at PVB has prepared me for all ballet styles and types of dance I’ve continued onto."

"Pioneer Valley Ballet is amazing. They work closely with every student and manage to focus on skills, in that classical ballet way, without losing touch with the basic fun of dancing. Really incredible teachers, year after year, and great performance opportunities. Couldn’t be happier!"

"The nutcracker has always been my favorite ballet. It holds a special place in my heart. I was in it several years; and was blessed to have my daughter in it for the first time this year. However it’s not what it use to be. I can never forgive or forget how it has been destroyed over the years. When we should be celebrating different cultures, they have taken out all those amazing numbers. The Chinese dancing out from the dragon. The Arabian dancers. Dancers from Spain. The Little dancer coming out from mother gingers shirt. And do much more. It was all those numbers that made the show so great. Even the party scene has lost its touch. Where’s the clock that starts going wonky? It’s changed so much, and I’m not sure it’s for the better."

"Amazing program for classical ballet training with a pre-professional focus and world class performance opportunities."
