Reviews of Briarwood Ballet (Dance School)

Heather Henriques

My daughters have danced with Briarwood Ballet for 11 years now, and I can't say enough about the quality of instruction and the incredible atmosphere. Caring teachers who push them to be their best while pointing them to God as the source of their talent and the object of their worship. Highly, highly recommend!!!

My daughter has danced with Briarwood Ballet for five years. We've been so pleased with the high quality of education and the Christ-centered focus. The teachers are top-notch!

I can't say enough good things about this school! Honestly, writing a review is a little intimidating because I know it's impossible to adequately express enough praise for them. The teachers are amazing. Most (possibly all) of them have been professional dancers before coming here. The quality of instruction is excellent. My daughter is challenged in her weaknesses while still being able to excel in her strengths. If these things were all my daughter had received in the last 8 years, that would be incredible, but the friendships and the focus on dancing for the Lord is invaluable. These girls get to use the gifts they have been given to advance His kingdom. I am so thankful for this ministry. We look forward to 4 more years of growth with this program.

We have been at Briarwood Ballet since my daughter was 3 years old (so 13 years now) and can't say enough about how wonderful they are! Amazing teachers and staff with true hearts for God and His leading along with top notch training. The best of the best!!!

By far the best ballet program to be a part of in Birmingham! Top-notch faculty who produce beautifully trained dancers from ages 3 all the way through high school. You won't regret choosing this dance school!

I grew up dancing at Briarwood Ballet and had a wonderful experience! There is no other place I would want my children to dance. There is so much more to the ballet school than just what we learned in the studio each day.

My child is entering her 10th year of instruction with Briarwood Ballet. For us, there is nothing to compare to the excellent teachers and talented directors, the cooperative spirit among the students, and most importantly, the emphasis on glorifying God through dance.

I am a company member of Ballet Exaltation and I've been taking ballet at Briarwood Ballet for 12 amazing years. Being at Briarwood has transformed my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the knowledgeable teachers who care about each dancer as an individual made in the image of God. The environment of this ballet school is totally different from what you would see in a secular school. My friends at ballet are the best friends that I have and there is an air of love an encouragement throughout every class instead of competition and judgement towards fellow dancers!

Heidi Beard

My daughter has been dancing here since she was 8. (For the last 7 years). She is now a member of their ballet company. Many of their teachers have danced professionally. I love that she is receiving the training she needs if she chooses to dances professionally. But what I love more is the foundation she built in this program that will stay with her on all aspects of her life and the joy that it gives her.

Beth Austin

So grateful for the atmosphere, professionalism of instruction, and overall program of Briarwood Ballet. It has been an integral part of our daughter's foundation for work ethic, has taught her collaberate and encourage others while realizing individual strengths and talents, and most importantly, has helped shape her character development in who she is in Christ and dance for His glory. Highly recommend!

My daughter is in her second year of the Ballet Exaltation company and has been at Briarwood Ballet since the age of 3. I served as costume mistress for four years. I have had a unique view from backstage and can say that the faculty and admin are as great backstage under pressure as the performance you see on- stage. Top-notch talent across the board! Older dancers have a Bible study and all the way through they are loved and prayed for. This is not just a ballet school- this is a ministry to the dancers, the community, and places in the world where the companies go to serve the church and glorify God through dance and their lives! You get all this plus EXCELLENT training and preparation for professional/college dance.
