Geary Dance Center, LLC

My daughter has recently joined Intermediate Ballet and Contemporary classes after enduring difficult experiences at another studio. Geary Dance is the perfect antidote to that and she's reconnected with the joy of dance again. Students are friendly, not competitive. Teachers are encouraging, patient and attentive, and I can see my daughter thriving here. Semester enrollment, and you can sign up for single ballet classes(not the case at many studios, where several classes are required to enroll). Trial classes are available, so you can see if your dancer likes it before committing. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but much easier than the Mission. There is a comfortable waiting area with wifi and surrounding neighborhood filled with restaurants and shopping- very convenient for waiting parents.

We love Geary Dance and are grateful to the teachers for sharing their love of dance with our children in such a positive and joyful manner. I wouldn't take my child anywhere else.

My 9-year-old daughter has been taking ballet classes with Ms. Byrne since before she and Mrs. Petty opened this school. Ms. Byrne is an artist and a gifted educator -- she is a wonderful choreographer and always makes sure that the instruction is age-appropriate *and* fun. Not to mention she is kind, caring, and has a very peaceful way about her. The kids LOVE her!
