Ballet San Angelo — Local services in San Angelo

My son has volunteered to be a party boy in the Nutcracker for a couple of years now. This year practices started in September through opening day December 15. There is a rule that you can only miss two practices. We have a split home so my son had to miss two practices to go see his dad( once a month). The last week of practice before the show( tech week) the practices are every day for 2-4 or 5 hours a day after school. This year on the Wednesday before the show our family found out about a very large tumor in our grandmothers head witch was very emotional. My son was late to the practice but did still make the practice. The following day I dropped him off at practice to get a nasty text from the director saying that I needed to pick up my son that he was kicked out of the show the day before opening night. Upon arriving I found my son sitting outside the door in tears because she had humiliated him and been very ugly to him. We were both treated like criminals and were not given the chance to explain or given grace due to the situation. It turned out that our grandmother has Glioblastoma witch is brain cancer. This director has not only hurt my son but since this has happened many parents have approached me and told similar stories of how she has been wicked and emotionally hurt many children in the program. I would NOT recommend taking your children here as long as Sandra Miller ( first year here) is the artistic director. I have heard many great things about San Angelo Dance Academy. That is where I will be taking my children...

This ballet school is the tops! As we were preparing to move to San Angelo, our child’s ballet teacher told us to search out this school. Yes, she knew of it from several states away! This is an excellent ballet school. And I have to say that I have been truly amazed by the quality, variety, and professionalism of the shows that this school puts on. Even if you don’t have a child in ballet, you will love watching their December Nutcracker, March Contemporary show, and April Story Ballet. The pre-professional students are highly skilled and will knock your socks off with how good they are. Also the staff are very friendly, helpful, and understanding. I saw a negative review here about the staff, but that either was with a staff member who is no longer here, or maybe the blame was unjustly laid. After all, if we commit to being in a show, we do need to commit to being at the rehearsals too. It’s a big responsibility, attending all the rehearsals. If we don’t, everyone suffers, not just the person who misses. In any case, all of my interactions with staff and faculty have been great. Even when there are tough situations, they are willing to work things out. I admire them immensely, and I’ve known them all for a year now. Definitely try this place. I’m very glad we are with Ballet San Angelo. The recommendation our teacher gave back home was spot-on. This is an...

My daughter has been dancing at BSA (Formerly San Angelo Civic Ballet) for the past 13 years. She has developed wonderfully strong skills in classical and contemporary ballet, and she has also developed a strong sense of self confidence. Through responsibility and hard work, BSA develops the whole dancer and provides unique performance opportunities and great workshops with guest artists and/or touring companies. My daughter has been encouraged to spend summer's in intensive training programs that required an audition, and we feel with her training through BSA, she had the technique required to be accepted into these programs. Most of all, they care about our family and my daughter, and we feel that BSA is a part...
