All the teachers at NW Dance Project and particularly, Gabriela Ganney Smith, are very good at what they do. I feel encouraged without being pushed and I have grown to love dancing. In addition to the ballet I've learned, I have improved my balance and flexibility. I recommended NW Dance Project to anyone thinking about trying ballet.

Love taking classes at NW Dance Project. Front staff are very kind and helpful and the teachers are AMAZING! They make you feel welcome. No judgement or attitude... just lots of encouragement. And the studios are fab - lots of light and space. Go for it - take a class and move.
