I was a student there for 3 years in their upper school and also was a part of their summer intensives. I made so much improvement while I was there and for that I am so grateful. I was in love with ballet, but that was quickly ruined by the treatment i received while a student here..About a year before I left, I got shin splints that turned into a stress fracture that I am still dealing with today. This happened two years ago. I was told that I was being dramatic because I could hardly even walk when I was first injured. I was encouraged to keep going and made to feel so badly about myself because if my injury. I felt like I was a failure because I wasn’t able to dance how I usually would. I had many great experiences with my teachers but my last year there, I was treated so horribly. The injury progressed throughout the year and eventually turned into a full blown stress fracture. They made me think it was all in my head and made me feel absolutely terrible about myself because of it. It’s really hard to write this publicly but I just don’t want anyone else to go through what I have. I wasn’t the only one. I’m fact, most of the girls in the upper school have left because of how toxic the environment was. Between the hardesty and brookside campus, there were 17 girls in my level in 2018-2019. Now there is only one left. This kind of treatment is pretty common the ballet world but at TB, everyone thought that it was normal and was willing to ignore it because the teaching was so great. I have been cursed at by a teacher there as a 12 year old. This is not a place where your children will excel. They may learn proper technique, but it’s not worth it. It makes me so sad that they are seen as such an amazing school. Don’t send your child here.

Great Ballet shows and school. Worth it to support the Arts.
Beautiful place friendly staff teachers are very nice and helpful .
My BESTIE goes here and she loves it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
The Children's Program is SO good that we are willing to drive from OKC to Tulsa every week in order for our kiddo to take classes at the Tulsa Ballet. The instructors are professional and knowledgeable, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The company is also very impressive. Their Nutcracker is a must see every Christmas!
