Do not believe the negative comments below....they must be fabricated or other dance companies posting false reports. I'm a real Mom with my 8 year old daughter who attends BSAA. My daughter and I tried a lot of ballet studios before this one. We used the free trials with several schools. A friend recommended BSAA. Her daughter goes here and was chosen to be in the last 2 productions of the Nutcracker. My daughter did not have ballet clothes to try the class in, she was just wearing shorts and a tee shirt. They asked if she wanted a ballet leotard and ballet shoes to borrow. She looked just like the girls in the class, not a try out. As I watched the instructor called the girls to class and she sat sooooo beautifully and the girls did the same. My daughter turned to me several times and mouthed "" I LOVE IT."" We have loved it ever since. Pros; private dressing rooms for the girls, nice Moms and Dads, Super friendly staff, Rise bakery just across the street for an after class coffee or snack. We go on Saturday, and we usually have a Bday to go to so after Rise Bakery we go next door to Toy Werks for a toy. It's just perfect! Cons: NONE!! We LOVE IT!!! more

I have done much research on a ballet school for my daughter. After looking all over San Antonio, I have found Ballet San Antonio Academy to be the perfect place for her. Not only are the instrucors well-educated and professional, but they genuinely care about the total well-being of my little girl. The director is hands-on and approachable, always a warm smile. We have enjoyed the program immensely, and you won't find a better value for your money anywhere. more

I have lived in 3 different states and trained as a dancer - as well as received a degree in Dance. Now raising my own children - I can honestly say that some of the best instruction I have seen across the country - exists here in San Antonio. Sure sometimes there can be challenges, but you get that everywhere you go. Dollar for dollar - well worth the technique and training my children are receiving. A strong disciplined program - that is always rewarding for the kids. Check out Ballet San Antonio Academy - it's more than just ballet too! more

We pulled our daughter out for a different reason. We were very disappointed in the quality. They have very low expectations of the students. Much of the lesson time is wasted (they start late and fuss around with music and allow students to come in late which disrupts everyone) and they don't learn nearly as much as they could be learning. We attended the ""demonstration"" and came away shocked at how bad it really was. Cons: quality of instruction is poor more

We pulled both our daughters from this school last December after we had had it with the rudeness. So many other good schools. This one is just so-so and not worth the aggravation. Visit a few and make up your own mind. Cons: Rude people more
