Belle Maturo

Founder, Owner & Artistic Director

Belle Maturo is the founder and owner of Perfect Pointe School of Dance — San Gabriel Valley's premier ballet and dance school, located in Covina, California.

With 14 years of business experience, Belle has propelled the studio's growth and nurtured hundreds of students over her 30-year teaching career into the beautiful world of dance. She has been recognized with many dance and choreography accolades nationally and internationally, and holds numerous certifications in classical ballet.

Today, her time is spent managing the day-to-day operations of Perfect Pointe — leading a team of 14 talented teachers and 3 office staff while providing top-notch dance education inside a thriving 6,000 sq ft studio.

Belle's greatest joy is offering the same quality dance instruction that brought her happiness growing up in Australia, and creating a safe environment that fosters an enduring love and passion for dance in future dancers. Outside of Perfect Pointe, Belle is a wife and mother of two beautiful children. She also has a son-in-law who serves in the United States Navy. She loves animals, and her favorite restaurant is Fonda Don Chon in downtown Covina.
