Beyond the Barre, LLC 790 Compton Road, Cincinnati, OH 45231

"Beyond the Barre focuses on correct technique and strength and development. This ensures that not only are the dancers beautiful dancers, but are less likely to get injured. Wether your dancer plans to go on and dance professionally or just wants to have fun, this is the perfect place. Despite having hundreds of students, Beyond the Barre has that close family feel. The owner knows every dancer by name and recognizes their family on sight. Not just her "serious" students, but even those that are just looking for something to do after school. Absolutely recommend!!!"

"We just started bringing our 4 year old daughter here and she is so happy. She is always so excited to go to ballet. We were referred here by a friend who raved about it and she was right. The teachers/owner are so nice and easy going. We are really excited to see our daughter perform in The Beauty and the Beast this spring."

"My oldest daughter has been with Beyond The Barre since age 3 she will soon be 8 yrs. old. It has been such a great experience for her and her younger sister who plans on attending summer camp this year/fall semester. My oldest has truly discovered something she loves, she has grown so much as a dancer and taking on many classes now to keep her active. We are happy to be apart of Beyond the Barre, LLC. Our experience has been wonderful. The Director/teachers are great, they’re dedicated and they provide a great atmosphere for the kids to learn and grow as dancers. :) Thanks for all of your hard work"

"The first time we took a class with the owner/teacher was 8 years back, when the current open, new, safe studio space was a distant dream. We loved the warm, encouraging focus then and even more so now, especially with Covid restrictions. I have 3 girls dancing at the studio, and all three have improved tremendously, thanks to the small classes and strong focus on individual improvement. Ballet is a demanding art and Ms. Dena and her team do their best to work with each student and family on their goals. Not every child wants to be a principal dancer and that’s okay here - the kids are never competing for the teacher’s attention and never ignored. In addition to the strong core curriculum, the Studio provides the most imaginative, fun and colorful productions - the Nutcracker in the fall and a new one (Finding Nemo this year) in the Spring. I highly recommend the classes and place this studio among the best in the city."

"I love Beyond the Barre! Both my children take ballet at BtB; my oldest has been practicing here for years. It has improved her confidence and focus, as well as her love of dance. The teachers and the owner take a child-centered approach while teaching high-quality lessons. The studio has recently started offering adult classes (Pilates, Yoga, Dance), which is a great option for me to exercise while they are in class. I highly recommend this studio for the whole family!"
