Raise The Barre - Studio of Dance - Bel Air, Maryland

Leslie Akins

Had my granddaughters 3rd birthday party there this past Sunday. Absolutely the best experience!! The ladies jumped right in to offer help for set up and clean up. They kept all 12 kids (mostly toddlers) entertained and engaged, the entire time. My candle broke and they offered for me to use one they had. The two ladies were so accommodating and positive. I cannot rave enough about how perfect this party went. This studio is amazing and kudos to the ladies helping with the party. Anyone looking for a dance studio or someplace fun to host a party…this is the place!

My 13-year-old daughter took her first yoga class with Raise the Barre recently, and she really loved it. She doesn't exactly have a "yoga" type personality, so we weren't sure how she'd react, but she came out all smiles. Danielle and Melissa (co-owners) could not have been more welcoming and considerate. I would recommend Raise the Barre to anyone and am looking forward to re-enrolling my daughter in the next session.

My granddaughter's birthday party was here for a "Glow in the Dark" dance party. It could not have been more wonderful! The party was exciting and engaging and well organized for the 4-7 yr old children. There were several activities that kept them very busy. It all started with glow in the dark face painting. A nice big area for food and beverages. Very nice staff and so much fun! Plus we had Rapunzel come visit and read a story and talk to the kids for an extra fee. It was magical!

Raise the Barre has been an amazing escape for my daughters during the past year! The studio was organized and founded in 2020 during the pandemic (talk about chutzpah!) My girls have been participating in classes every week since it opened. They have improved their dance skills in several different areas, including hip-hop, modern, ballet and more! They have found a good network of friends here as well. All the dance instructors are very encouraging, and help push the dancers beyond their limits. I can positively say, my girls are more confident now because they see the results of hard work!

Beyond just the dancing, this studio has great COVID-19 protocol as well. All dancers and instructors wear masks the entire time. Classes are limited in number to promote social distancing. Temperature checks are required before class and hand washing is required!

All in all, i can confidently say, this dance studio has "Raised the Bar" in many ways! My kids love it here, and if the kids are happy, Im a happy dad!

My daughter loves RTB. During the pandemic & covid restrictions my daughter’s dance lessons were paused but luckily we found out about RTB in early 2021 and has been a great experience. She is comfortable and happy with all the teachers there. She has improved her technique overall.
Ms. Danielle & Ms. Melissa are always attentive to any concerns or questions.
