I attended the mat conditioning class. Let’s start with the facility. It’s falling apart with actual water coming through the roof. The mats are old and not cleaned after every use. There may be a security issue. However, there are nice ballet bars and mirrors. The floor needs to be swept. The instructor seems insecure with the class stating «people normal come only once.» There are a group of regulars that made me think that statement was very odd. The exercises are dated and there is no form or direction. So for those free spirits — this is your modern dance/​yoga/​Pilates/​ballet class. Personally, I don’t like take stretch breaks with lots of personal life conversations. I like going to a class and focusing on the workout. This did not focus on the workout. There was this awkward booty shaking that only made me feel like hiding under a rock. The instructor have no form advice or technique or even direction. I wasted my money and time going to this class for a workout!

I just took my first class here on Sunday, with Stephanie Cain.
I am a brand new ballet dancer, a tall, somewhat self conscious addition to the ballet world, but enthusiastic nonetheless. I have never danced my life, and I was super nervous to take this class because it was listed as a mixed level class and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to follow the choreography or dance the steps.
I am happy to say that I was totally wrong to be nervous! What a wonderful experience! Stephanie is so kind and generous, and the people in the class are equally patient and helpful. I was sandwiched intentionally between two experienced dancers, and Stephanie took great pains to make sure the experienced dancers were spread out. She also dances the whole class with you, which is another great comfort to newbies.
Not only all of those things, but I also got my butt kicked in the best possible way. I was challenged immensely, but in such a supportive way, and it was a REAL workout!
And, like all the classes at BBC, you can drop in and drop out at will, but I say, drop in and never leave. :)

This is a really fun meaningful workout. Elaine has a great style that makes everyone feel welcome.
I took ballet as a child and really wanted to get back to my roots. I was particularly interested in working on my posture and strength. The workouts are rigorous. Sometimes you know/​feel it and sometimes you don’t so it doesn’t feel like a chore. Elaine is also great at highlighting the beautiful things about ballet — the shape of your arms, pointing your toes, a wonderful emphasis on grace. She also builds in a lot of stretching, which feels great.
If you ever dreamed of being a ballerina, this class is a great way to get in touch with your dream while getting fit.

If you’ve ever wanted to take ballet as an adult, do it now and do it at Belltown Ballet! The classes are challenging without being daunting, and this is the best workout I get all week. The studio is geared towards adults, and there are all levels of experience in the classes.
Elaine, our teacher, makes the classes fun, social, but also works our butts off! I’m a curvy gal, but I never feel out of place. And I always come away feeling body-​positive, as Elaine is great at helping us all recognize our strengths.
It’s just a fun, beautiful way to work out.

If you are reading this because you are thinking about coming here, do it. I take classes from Elaine Bonow, and she makes the class super fun (and challenging). This class is for all shapes, sizes, levels, and genders. Hope to see you there!

I went to BBC Studio for a beginning ballet class yesterday after not taking a ballet class for at least 5 years. I was impressed! The class wasn’t so remedial that you were bored, in fact, it was rigorous and stimulating for the mind-​body. It was a great workout, FUN, and I was able to put on a pair of ballet shoes. A trifecta of win.
There’s no dress code here, you can wear a leotard if you desire, or just some yoga pants, or cycling shorts, it’s up to you. Have a busy schedule? You don’t have to commit to a day or a month, you can drop in whenever it’s convenient for you! That’s the best part in my opinion, because life happens!

A little over a year ago I got the urge to relive my childhood as a young girl in a tutu. I spent a few hours searching on the web for adult ballet classes, and many either didn’t fit my schedule, were too expensive, seemed too serious, or asked for an amount of time I wasn’t able to easily give. And then I found BBC studio.
Elaine’s fun and quirky personality made me feel right at home in a class that included beginners and those who had been dancing for a very long time. Although I could barely remember from my elementary years what was the difference between fourth and fifth position and I didn’t look like a ballerina in my work out clothes and socks, after my first class I was hooked.
There’s a lot of individual attention without feeling inadequate, and every time I leave class so glad that I got my work out in for the day, (90 minutes!) and can’t wait to come back for my next class.
Being able to drop in really helps fit the classes into my week without feeling obligated to be there, Belltown Ballet has become my refresher, after a long day or week of working and when the idea of the gym sounds dreadful, it’s so nice to feel like I’m pushing myself, but that I enjoyed myself the entire time. I highly recommend coming in and trying a class!

I love Elaine! She truly is the best ballet teacher I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many of them. She is not pretentious, and made ballet so reachable to all dancers from any levels, first time to advance. She is funny, flexible with her time and conditions, and always make the classes fun and entertaining. She lets me bring my baby to class, which made it so much easier to go to class and loose my baby weight :) We had extra fun classes such as tutu making class, couple ballet class, etc. She is just the best!
On Sundays Stephanie teaches Ballet 101… She is also great, very knowledgeable and always taking a good care and effort to correct all of her students. I’ve been to some classes where the teacher wouldn’t care if I was doing the hokey pokey… Definitely not the case here with these two lovely ladies… Highly recommended!

I have been taking Elaine Bonow’s strength and conditioning class for years. Elaine is an awesome teacher, the music she uses for class is great — everything from James Brown to Nouvelle Vague. She sprinkles her teaching with hilarious stories and her own brand of philosophy, while taking you through a hardcore workout. She’s truly one of the best people I know, and I can win sit-​up contests at parties because of her!
She also teaches a ballet class much loved for its lack of pretension and Elaine’s belief that everyone can dance. Check out the studio’s Facebook page:

Belltown Ballet Studio is great! I have been taking belly dancing classes from Zanbaka here for about two months. *shake, shake, shake* The lessons are affordable and very laid back. No need to fear looking like an idiot while trying to dance. In this beginning belly dancing class everyone sucks!
They also have a number of other dance and conditioning classes that are available to everyone. I will be trying the conditioning classes shortly. They look like they are going to kick my ass.
I don’t have much experience to compare the actual dance facilities with other places. But for the price I pay to use the space it is wonderful. The floor is a little dirty but what should one expect after an entire day of people dancing barefoot all over it?
Start dancing today!
