Prima Ballet School

Prima ballet is a wonderful place for the girls to practice ballet, my daughter love here. This place is not only make the kids to dance but is a place to make the girls to trust in their talents. I love the patient the staff place in their students.

My daughter has attended Prima since she was 4 years old. I can honestly say it has provided her with one of the most rewarding experiences of her young life. The teachers are world-class and have created a nurturing, supportive, and caring environment that have enabled my daughter to build her confidence both as a dancer and young person. I highly recommend this school for any parents looking for a place that provides top quality instruction and an environment that fosters self-esteem.

Prima Ballet is one of the nicest, most welcoming dance schools for kids I’ve ever been to.Before coming to Prima, Quarantine gave me a lot of time at home and I ended up going through my old childhood photos and finding the ones from my old ballet school I used to go to. Looking over my childhood photos made me realize how important the bonding experience I had in that ballet school was for my confidence as a kid and I wanted my niece to be able to have those memories too.Quarantine has been really hard and isolating, but now that the vaccines are rolling out I felt like this was the best time to find this bonding experience for my niece. She’s been really lonely and negatively impacted by the online learning experience, so I visited a few other ballet and even modern dance places to get her involved in groups again, and to help her feel safe enough to make new friends too.After my long search, In the end I chose to register her here at Prima because the instructors, Ms. Smith and Ms. Hunter, created the safest but most welcoming experience for me and my niece. My niece was really nervous about this all so I stayed until they started dancing. I understandably couldn’t stay the whole time because of covid, but my niece was so quick to open up and have fun at the start, and the new owner Mia was nice enough to send these photos for me! My niece just could not stop talking about it after!When I spoke to Mia, the conversation we had really resonated with me: Dancing is more than just learning a style, it’s about building confidence and learning how to comfortably express your emotions by challenging your mind and body to work together. These are all things that I wanted my niece to learn and to grow up with- and the safe and welcoming atmosphere at Prima is where I definitely want my niece to experience it!I’m so excited to be able to find this place for my niece and I’m looking forward to seeing her grow past the troubles of 2020!

Prima Ballet School is like my second home! The dance teachers are so amazing and talented and give me the opportunity to try new things and reach my full dance training. The dancers I have met their have become some of my best friends and make each day exciting. I couldn’t imagine dancing anywhere else! ❤️

Great ballet school. My grand daughter started at Prima at two years old and they really care for your children like their own. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nurturing environment where your children can learn proper ballet and dance technique.

Our daughter has been with Prima for 8 years. She has received quality instruction in ballet, contemporary and jazz, and her growth has been incredible. She is RAD trained in ballet, so her achievements are recognized internationally. What we love most about Prima is the focus on building self esteem in a supportive culture. Prima Ballet School is a community, not just a dance studio!

Truly the best dance studio there is, staff is so kind and knowledgeable and they offer a wide variety of classes for any age!

Teachers are amazing role models and instructors, dancers are supportive and kind, and the owners are very kind. Lovely environment and best dance studio experience yet.

My two girls have been at Prima Ballet for the last two years (youngest has been there for a year). They look forward to class every week and have built a bond with everyone there. Our oldest is generally shy, but there has been a significant improvement since she joined Prima (especially due to the yearly performances). Would recommend Prima Ballet to anyone in the Durham area!

Our home for family ballet!As someone who is in the adult ballet class and with a child who is approaching the end of year 2 at Prima, I can truly say that this place is our community for ballet.My child is cared for and loved here, and the work the teachers do to encourage confidence in young people is above and beyond. I have a shy child but dance at Prima has helped them come out of their shell so much. The teachers are so talented and patient. I highly recommend both the classes for young people and for adults to anyone who is considering!I hope we’re both able to stay a part of the Prima community for many years to come.
