Greenville Ballet School

Dec 2024

Our 5th grader absolutely loves every minute she gets to spend at ballet! The teachers are excellent - they do a great job of teaching good technique and fostering camaraderie and a love of dancing at the same time.

I wanted to give this review, because I have seen the negative comments on here, and they break my heart. This will be out 9th year with Greenville Ballet. We started back when my oldest was 4 years old. We came from a different dance studio that she attended when she was 3, and were appalled that not only was their ballet program horrible, but the competition dance had some very seductive dancing. We shopped around and found Greenville ballet. It offered mainly ballet, which was what my daughter wanted. We have been pleased at the quality of ballet training that she has received, and their Nutcracker show is great, whether people think it's the "favorite" or not! I also don't understand the claim that they have shady business practices. They post their costs freely on their website. They don't charge a costume fee, but have the kids wear a uniform all year, that they also wear in the Spring Showcase. They don't spend half the year teaching a cute routine for a recital, taking away from the ballet training. Those in the performance class are not charged any extra for a costume, just for the extra class. Their Spring Performance fee is basically the price of 4 tickets to the show, and you get the 4 tickets with it. You do have to pay to see their special performances, because they have to sell seats to pay for the venue. I understand people can have bad experiences, even at the best of places, but felt this business needed a great review to reflect their great company!

We moved to Greenville from Richmond Ballet in Richmond, Virginia, and investigated Greenville's three ballet schools to find the best training opportunity for our girls. We chose Greenville Ballet School based on reputation and because it did not put their young students on pointe before the age of 11, when the child's feet and legs are properly trained to advance to pointe, or require on a specific body type. Andrew and Merry Kuharsky are seasoned dancers and teachers who focus on proper dance technique and the well being of the dancer. Not only have our girls received premium ballet/pointe training, they have also had the opportunity to train in jazz, choreography, tap, hip hop, and modern dance. Entering our fourth season with Greenville Ballet, we appreciate the training our girls have received. They have grown in grown in confidence, technique, and poise. They love dancing with Greenville Ballet and are excited for another ballet season. I cannot recommend Greenville Ballet more highly.
