We collect reviews where people leave them — on Google, on Instagram, in WhatsApp messages the morning after a class. The ones below are quoted as written, with the reviewer’s first name where they gave it. The full, current list is on our Google profile, linked at the bottom of this page.

A pattern runs through them: people notice the size of the group, the fact that every exercise is explained and corrected individually, and that the teachers are working dancers from the Mariinsky, the Wiener Staatsoper and the Bayerisches Staatsballett. That is the studio we set out to build.

From adult students

  • “Attending Alexandra’s ballet classes has been an enriching experience. Her expertise as a teacher shines through her dedication to each student’s progress. The classes were not just a challenging workout; they were an exquisite journey into embracing femininity through movement. The studio’s location is a gem, and the ambiance is perfectly complemented by the classical music.” — Cam, Google
  • “I like learning things about ballet and yesterday I felt that I begin to understand little things about my back and my turn out and it motivates me to keep learning! And this morning I feel my back is more open!” — WhatsApp, the morning after class
  • “Eased myself slowly into the journey with a foundational conditioning & stretching class this evening. Alexandra kept things within a safe and manageable level for all of us which I super appreciate. Legitimately looking forward to see how much of my flexibility I can get back!” — Instagram
  • “Upon entering the place, I was shocked by how many pictures there were of Alina Somova! Alexandra herself just moved so differently. She was so warm and welcoming to dancers of all levels. She was attentive and corrected everyone in a kind way.” — a visiting dancer, Tumblr
  • “The best studio & teachers & class & way to spend my Wednesday (and many more…) evening.” — Meli P., Instagram
  • “Best ballet gymnastics training. The burn was real.” — Sarah, Instagram
  • “Alexandra is the best! I have had several lessons with her now and she takes so much time to explain everything properly. Her group classes are wonderful too — she explains every exercise precisely, so that everyone can follow and understands how to do it right.” — WhatsApp (translated from German)
  • “Thank you so much, once again. It is such an honor and a privilege to learn from and be encouraged by this unbelievably talented family of professionals.” — Instagram

About the children’s classes

  • “The best place for young ballerinas in Vienna.” — Gaia P., Instagram
  • “A premium ballet studio where anyone can try ballet, fulfil a dream or stay in top shape. The studio offers a broad range of classes for adults and children, suitable for every level — useful for beginners as well as advanced dancers and professionals.” — Katerina M., Instagram (translated from German)

How we treat reviews

We never pay for reviews, never edit them beyond translation, and we do not add star ratings to this page’s code — Google’s guidelines forbid schools from marking up their own ratings, and we prefer you read them at the source. If a class fell short for you, write to us first: support@artis-studio.com. If it was good, a Google review is the most useful thing you can give a small studio.

Questions

About these reviews

01

Where can I read ARTIS reviews?

On our Google Business profile (link above), in the Instagram story highlight “Reviews” on @artis.balletstudio, and on this page, where we quote them as written.

02

Are the reviews from real students?

Yes. Every quote on this page corresponds to a real Google or Instagram post or a message we received; we keep the screenshots and show them on the home page.

03

Why don’t you show a star rating?

Google’s structured-data guidelines do not allow a business to publish its own aggregate rating from third-party reviews, and a number copied onto a website goes stale. The live rating is on Google.

04

What do reviews most often mention?

The small groups (max. eight), the individual corrections, the teachers’ backgrounds — Mariinsky, Wiener Staatsoper, Bayerisches Staatsballett — and the studio itself in the 1st district.

05

I had a bad experience. Who do I write to?

support@artis-studio.com or WhatsApp +43 676 7088715. A founder reads every message.
