From the reviews
My daughter has studied ballet here since its inception. We came to Bluegrass Youth Ballet because we were following its founder, Adalhi Aranda Corn, who is a gifted, kind and charismatic instructor.
All of our children take ballet classes here, and they think it's the greatest activity in the world. They are always, I mean every single time, excited about lessons. The instructors are all super nice, welcoming, supportive, and great at teaching ballet.
Bluegrass Youth Ballet is one of the best things that has ever happened to our family. They are unparalleled in their dance skills, teaching skills, professionalism and commitment to their students. We found them during Arts Week 11 years ago and have been there ever since.
BYB has been a second home to me for as long as I have danced there. The teachers have such amazing attitudes and terrific teaching meathods. BYB is very inclusive and makes dancing very fun! Their positive reinforcement policy is always carried through. BYB is one big happy family and a good environment to learn in.
Your first ballet class at Bluegrass 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.
