Chattanooga Ballet

"I attended here during 2013 till 2015 as long as you didn’t get Dillon Davis or Joelynn you would be okay both of them would make awful comments to dancers if they weren’t flexible enough. I was a great jumper because I had a lot of muscles in my legs and could turn up to 15 turns and not get dizzy they were my strong suit and I got combinations quickly. But Dillon was the worst teacher he would pick me out and point every little mistake out that I accidentally did or made. The only good teachers that was there when I did go there were Mr. Frank and Sam idk her last name and Emily I think was her name. Other than that it was the worst I grew to hate dance because of both Joelynn and Dillon I would skip Dillon’s classes because he was so horrible to me idk what I did to piss in his Cheerios but I was the one he targeted the most. But because of them I refuse to listen to any nutcracker music much less take my son to see the nutcracker."

"My daughter's love for dance and confidence was reignited at Chattanooga Ballet. She was pushed and encouraged and cared for as an individual. Nena and Brian are especially amazing. She is now dancing in college and thriving due to the technical training and encouragement she received here. If your dancer is serious about their art...like really serious...and committed...run, don't walk to Chattanooga Ballet. It's the best investment in their dance future."

"Every patron and worker involved with this buisness is rude to the neighborhood around them. They block the streets for nearing hours, yell at locals, and drive unsafely in a residential area."

"We went to The Chattanooga Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker at Tivoli Theatre. We paid $60 for Orchestra Center Right seats about 12 rows back. The average age of ballerina's in the first act was around 14 years of age. Very few in the audience were in formal attire. Several were in jeans, flannels and a few in baseball caps. There were audience members that were hollering out the names of the children that they had in the performance as well as many passing around bags of popcorn to munch on during the performance. There were more adult performers in the second act."

"My daughter took classes here for about a year. We were very happy with the instructors and the facilities. There are other dance studios in town, but most of them teach classes that are a combination of ballet, tap, and jazz, and we wanted something more focused, which is what we found with Chattanooga Ballet. We left only because we were beginning to overschedule, and ballet and soccer were overlapping far too often."
