Both my kids danced at this studio and they liked it so much I decided to try adult ballet!! It is a great place to dance, both professional and welcoming. Deborah Bean is a skilled dancer and an excellent teacher, which is a really good combination for learning a skill that takes dedication and time to develop correctly. She helps her students set and achieve their dancing goals with a lot of joy in the process. The student performances are especially well done.

I’m an experienced ballet teacher and ex professional dancer and I know legitimacy when I see it. This is proper training and a rare gem.Refreshing in a world of competitive money grabbers.

My daughter's have had a beautiful experience here at IFSB. They have been taught discipline and love of ballet. Their confidence has grown greatly with the attention Deb gives each child to correct, support, and praise. She is an incredible teacher and we feel so blessed to have her in our community.

This school is as good as it gets. My daughters took classes here for many years and attribute much of their success in ballet and other endeavors to the excellent training and discipline they learned from Mrs. Bean.

The dance community is so lucky to have IFSB in Idaho Falls. You are guaranteed to get a quality dance education at this studio. Perfect for the serious ballet student. They also offer adult classes with a playroom for kids which has been a godsend for me. They provide childcare for some classes which is great. I can't recommend this studio enough!

My daughter started ballet at young age at Maryland Youth Ballet near Washington DC. We then moved to Denver and she studied with the Littleton Youth Ballet. We moved to Idaho Falls and I was concerned we would not find the same level of expertise you can find in a bigger city. IFSB was the perfect fit for her - dedicated to teaching sound principles of classical ballet and on par with ballet schools in bigger cities. Deb runs her studio smoothly with a lot of structure. She loves her students and puts so much into building them up and helping them succeed.

IFSB does a wonderful job of bringing arts and culture to our community. The director manages to present classical French ballet seamlessly with humorous theatrics. Watching The 12 Days of Christmas was a joy! My little brother can’t wait to see the next show.

RESPONDING TO THE INCORRECT CLAMS FROM CHERIE BROWN:

After a recent visit, I am again blown away by the quality of the Idaho Falls School of Ballet. I am so proud to be an alum. My experience with IFSB spans over 20 years, as now as a professional dancer and teacher myself, I can say with authority that the training there is outstanding. It rivals and sometimes surpasses what I've seen in much larger schools in much larger cities. The focus on correct and healthy placement for each individual's body (no dangerous forcing of tunout!) is a rare and beautiful thing. I graduated from the Idaho Falls School of Ballet with clean technique without stylistic "quirks" ready to move into professional training schools and career in ballet. Besides technique, the faculty there fosters expression, a sense of movement, athleticism, and artistry that are sometimes overlooked by schools in the pursuit of technique, but not here. The teachers also work hard to create equal opportunities for dancers shine and grow in class and on stage. The spring show is not just a "recital" but a performance with artistic and entertainment value. This gives the students a chance to work as a team for something larger than themselves, supported by staff every step of the way. My parents still attend the performance annually even though they have no children performing just because they want to enjoy the show. This school is full of beautiful young artists who are visibly thriving in the positive environment and exceptional instruction at IFSB. Most importantly, they are loving dance in the process. Idaho Falls is lucky to have such excellent dance training available locally, and I am so grateful my parents signed me up for classes here all those years ago. Thank you Idaho Falls School of Ballet, and keep up the good work!

My granddaughters attend Idaho Falls School of Ballet. This dance studio is exceptional with extremely competent teachers. The director, Deborah Bean, runs an exceptionally classy ballet school focusing on classical ballet. We are very happy with this studio.

It's always a pleasure to help out with performances the few times I have. And of course it's a pleasure to see how wonderfully they turn out every time! Deborah Bean is a great instructor and a great person, who always has her dancers' best interests at heart.
