From the reviews
Albert and Karina are two amazing instructors. My daughter has been dancing at AYB for four years now and for many more years. I also do adult stretching sessions with Karina, and I can’t thank her enough!
Outstanding studio! So glad we switched to this studio. My daughters love it here and the teacher is superb!
Our daughter has been attending American Youth Ballet for at least 5 years, maybe more. We are very happy with the ballet instruction that she is receiving there. Very professional but warm and accommodating, and the girls (and boys) have the best chance to learn ballet the way it should be taught.
My daughter is new to AYB and words cannot capture the vast improvement she has made since September, under the training and teachings of Albert; he is an absolutely amazing instructor! Albert believes in all of the students and is truly dedicated to helping them grow as a dancer.
Your first ballet class at American Youth Ballet
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
