From the reviews

Andrei and his wife are true professionals and we are so lucky to be able to train with them. There is nothing like a Russian ballet teacher! Great Neck is lucky to have you. My 5 year old daughter learned so much and always looks forward to going to the class.

Love this place. The owners/teachers are great. I would definitely recommend this dance studio. Focus on strong technique. All ages!!! Go on the website for scheduled classes. Lots of parking.

★★★★★ — Paula, Sep 2019

The level of talent and expertise is unparalleled. Great Neck now has two stars from the Moiseev State Company, the Riverdance, and the New York City Opera! The dancing talent, coupled with decades of dance teaching experience, and it is all available to our kids. :) Thank you Andrei and Yana for your love and care!

Best ballet teachers I can ever ask for my daughter. Andrei and Yana are highly achieved and run the studio with love and care. They put lots of thoughts in training the kids and want every kid to learn and be successful. The choreography are beautiful. I have so much respect to them.

Your first ballet class at Art of the Dance World Academy

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
