From the reviews

My pre-teen has been a loyal student at BRB since she was a toddler. The level of instruction, both for classical and contemporary dance, is exceptional. Many BRB students are accepted into competitive summer intensives for their age group (i.e. ABT, Joffrey); as well as performing arts middle and high schools.

We've tried a few dance studios in the neighborhood, but Bay Ridge Ballet is by far our favorite. My kids have been students there for several years now. Ms. Patty is a great talent and teacher and her warmth and energy are infectious. All of the other teachers are highly qualified and professional too.

Bay Ridge Ballet is more than just a dance studio; it is a nurturing environment where my child can flourish in every aspect of life, starting from day one.

★★★★★ — Jacqueline, Aug 2025

We had my daughter's 7th birthday at Bay Ridge Ballet this week and it exceeded our expectations! For a reasonable price, Ms. Patty took care of all decorations and made the space look magical for our daughter, including signage outside. She also took care of ordering and serving pizza. For two hours, Ms.

Your first ballet class at Bay Ridge 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.

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.
