Testimonials

North State Ballet teaches so much more than dance. They teach kindness, confidence, hard work, teamwork, and what it means to be a good human. Every child is made to feel loved, valued, and special, both on and off the stage. What started as a place to learn dance has become our NSB family, and we are so grateful to be part of such a beautiful & supportive community.

- Kristin Benson

The Creative Movement classes offered at North State Ballet have been unparalleled in introducing both my girls to a structured yet highly engaging and enjoyable first class experience! Miss Laurel not only highlights dance and body awareness to these toddlers, but also rhythm and etiquette. It has been such a joy to be a part of the NSB community and see my girls develop new skills and build new friendships. 

- Clorinda Millerick

My daughter has been dancing at North State Ballet for almost two years, and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to move her to this studio! The professionalism, grace, and expertise of the instructors are truly unmatched. North State Ballet has become a second home for my daughter, and the friendships she has formed along the way have been such a wonderful bonus. We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing dance community. 

- Tess Lopez

We have two girls at NSB, our oldest is in her 5th year on the competition team, while our youngest is in her 2nd and has been at the studio since she was just 3 years old! We have many special memories in all the years that we are thankful for but what stands out the most is the quality of the programs they offer. What sets NSB apart is how structured, thoughtful, meticulous, and top tier their training is. We’ve watched our girls grow over the years and learn so much both personally and in their artistry. It is truly our girls’ second home! 

- The Nunes Family

NSB is my daughter’s “third space:” her space outside of home and school where she can discover who she is, explore her love of dance, grow in confidence, create genuine connections, and have opportunities for personal growth. 

- Jennifer Brown 

I highly recommend North State Ballet! Both of my daughters started here as toddlers and are now 12 and 8. Thanks to the incredible directors and staff, they haven't just learned ballet—they’ve built true life skills like self-discipline, strength, confidence, and perseverance. The teachers are supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every single student's individual success. 

- Mai C. Yang

We have been part of the North State Ballet dance family for about a year now, and we couldn't be happier! Our daughter absolutely adores Mrs. Laurel, and it's easy to see why. The love, patience, and care she pours into her littlest dancers is truly admirable. We always say she is an angel walking among us because she is pure magic with the littlest dancers! We are so grateful to be part of such a special place! 

- Michaela Sullivan

Having my daughter dance at NSB has been such an amazing experience for both my daughter and I. The caliber of dance instruction and choreography is top notch and the owners know bow to make the dancers feel a part of a dance family! I couldn’t be more grateful that we chose North State Ballet for our daughter!

- Traci Tunno

One of the things I love about NSB is that their focus on excellence extends beyond training great dancers. They also care about the character and life-long lessons gained from the hard work, dedication, and perseverance required of dance.

- Rachael Sawyer

Thanks to the kind, caring, and supportive instruction and training I received at NSB, I not only became a better dancer, but a better person as a whole. NSB is a place I can always call home and it shaped me into who I am today. Because of NSB I have made memories and friendships that will stick with me for life, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything NSB has given me.
