From the reviews
If your looking for the best technique teachers of ballet you have come to the right place. They don’t monkey around with recitals or competitions. They really care about their students
I danced at The Ballet Academy for fifteen years, and with COYB for eleven. The instructors at TBA are wonderful, and help facilitate growth for every dancer. COYB, on the other hand, puts on fantastic performances that I always enjoyed participating in.
COYB is committed to teaching proper technique in the realms of ballet and modern dance. My daughter's growth as a person and a dancer is a direct reflection of the high-quality training and nurturing environment provided by COYB.
COYB is a hidden gem in Newark! Our daughter has loved dancing here for 4 years and counting. This is place to receive outstanding instruction in classical ballet, modern dance and pilates.
Your first ballet class at Central Ohio 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.
