“As a former dancer, as I began the search for a place for my then 4 year old daughter to begin her ballet training, the top of my list was impeccable technique.”

“The dancers are highly trained, expressive, and inspiring to watch, whether performing classical repertoire or innovative contemporary works.”
“Artistic Director, Carole Alexis, leads by example the high quality of work ethic and mutual respect for all her students, faculty and company members alike.”
“As an experienced professional dancer and student of dance for more than 20 years, I can honestly say that BdA is a very rare, unique, hidden gem in the world of dance education.”

From the reviews
As an experienced professional dancer and student of dance for more than 20 years, I can honestly say that BdA is a very rare, unique, hidden gem in the world of dance education. Why? It sets an extremely high standard for all dance schools in every major city in terms of quality of education and individual attention.
Ballet des Amériques is an outstanding school! Artistic Director, Carole Alexis, leads by example the high quality of work ethic and mutual respect for all her students, faculty and company members alike. This very special school functions as a home for young dancers-in-training and pre-professionals.
Worthy of its name, Ballet des Amériques is a diverse, professional and friendly environment for serious and dedicated ballet students. A quick commute to and from Manhattan, it is a safe and easy walk from the Port Chester station.
Ballet des Amériques is an unparalleled professional conservatory training program! How fortunate we are to have a school of this caliber right here in Westchester, NY!! Carole Alexis is simply a master teacher and choreographer.
Your first ballet class at Ballet des Amériques / Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre
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.
