Business Review
The Roanoke area has many dance schools, but there is only one true classical ballet school, Star City School of Ballet. If you have a dancer that wants to learn classical ballet technique, this is the school for you. The instructors are amazing and caring and truly love sharing their love of ballet with their students. You won't get ballet instruction like this anywhere else in the Roanoke area. G. Connor
Pedro is an awesome teacher! He has helped my granddaughter rebuild her self confidence as she has grown as as a dancer. Now he'll be there for her as she works to recover from hip surgery. His willingness to go the extra mile and meet with her surgeon to learn how to help her regain her dancing technique is what makes a not only a great teacher but a caring teacher! S Penney
