Testimonials

Rebecca H.

 My daughter had about 2 years of ballet experience before Ballet Kukan. Since being enrolled this March, her skill level has dramatically improved. My daughter's poise, confidence are noticeable and she is understanding the importance of stage entrance and music cues. She's been in two seperate recitals, but was never taught this. Ms. Noriko is an excellent instructor. She is dedicated, passionate, and loves teaching ballet. She is committed to her students. At Ballet Kukan, there is discipline coupled with fun exercises. My daughter LOVES her ballet school and so do I. Highly recommend this school to anyone who is serious about ballet.

Fatima S.

My daughter has been attending Ballet Kukan Academy for the past five years, and it has been such a wonderful experience! The teachers are not only talented and professional but also incredibly patient and caring. They truly nurture each student’s love for dance while helping them build confidence, discipline, and grace.

Emma looks forward to every class — she’s grown so much as a dancer and performer thanks to the supportive and positive environment here. The recitals are always beautifully organized and showcase how much hard work and passion the students and instructors put in.

We’re so grateful to have found Ballet Kukan. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a ballet school that focuses on both excellent technique and the joy of dancing.

Fantastic Ballet Studio. My daughter has been going here for 4 years and just loves it! Teachers have instilled Discipline, focus, dedication and confidence! Over the past 4 years her skills have sharpened, dances gracefully, and her body has been transforming into a prima ballerina. She can't wait to start pointe!
