From the reviews
I went to this school in 1978(!) when I was 9 or 10 and still vividly remember Karl Singletary the founder, and a then very young Mr. Marvin. I will never forget the class Karl taught when we worked on how to properly point our foot. He painstakingly corrected each of us, one by one.
I was a student at BICB 1997-2003 and will forever be grateful and appreciative of every opportunity I was given to showcase and improve my dance talents. Marvin Askew is a great teacher and anyone who wants to put their little kids in dance class, BICB is it! You won't regret it!
Great grands & grands go to classes there .Mr. Marvin is a great teacher and the children love going there and their parents love the fees & atmosphere. I've been to three recitals and they were beautifully put together .This dance shool is a gem in the community.
Mr.Marvin is a caring teacher who motivates and listens to the children in class. The ballet classes are fun and challenging. It's a great addition to the community and classical ballet opportunity for Buffalo!
Your first ballet class at Buffalo Inner-City Ballet Co
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.
