Hears what students have to say about BELLA


Bella Studio seems dedicated to tuning in to my objectives, and developing a program that supports them.  The Owner is intimately interested in the people that dance there, and gives personal attention to see that the student is happy there.  The doors are open to groups and individuals, and the freedom and space that is provided makes for a very friendly, supportive atmosphere.   Good talent and nice feeling at Bella.

Bella Dance Studio is a friendly, relaxed environment for learning dance. The professional edge is always there when learning a new step or style, which helped build my confidence and also gave me a great reason to smile. I would recommend Bella Dance Studio to anyone looking to open a new door of opportunity in their life, or someone just looking to get professional advice on a dance style they already enjoy.

Until 2 months ago, dance to me was what other people did while I watched and wondered how it might feel to glide across a dance floor and to express yourself in such dramatic fashion! Having grown up using braces and crutches to walk, and now a wheelchair, I developed a vivid imagination which allowed me to feel and experience in my mind the things my body could not. I lived an incredibly "normal" life and
never felt deprived, never felt I've missed out on anything. Bella Studio has given me an incredible gift by expanding it's repertoire to include wheelchair dance instruction and I realized I had missed something, something very important - the opportunity of physical expression to the beat and sound of music! But not any more! The owner and instructor is fearless and relentless in tapping into my emotion and passion, bringing them to the surface and finding release through innovative choreography and creative dance movement. I had previously believed I had used every muscle in my upper body though various wheelchair sports activities, but we have found several not engaged before now! Thanks Bella - thanks for being there for so many dancers and artists in the Kansas City area - but mostly, thank you for being there for me!
