After looking and going through a couple of ballet schools over three years we finally found the one that has taken our daughter to the next level. Extremely happy with the progress she has made, as well as the professionalism and expertise Mrs. Gypsy Hall brings to the table. Highly recommend!!

I'm not sure why they have 2 different addresses listed. I was there when they had the location almost out by I-27 (pretty far west in Pembroke Pines), versus the one at Grand Palms.

Let me begin by saying that a 0 will not suffice with the way I feel about this "establishment". I was told a week in advance to bring our daughter in for an evaluation of acceptance to the Ballet School. I was told Wednesday & 4:15 class begins PROMPTLY at 4:30.... Here we go... I arrive at said establishment at 4:10 and look for the Ballet "Studio" as described on their website. The building is a gym that lease/rents out rooms for different events ( karate, cycling, etc.). The gym has no clue of the Ballet classes, schedule, contact info., nothing in regards to Pembroke
