From the reviews
I had 2 daughters attend for the first time, this year. One was old enough to stay in the dorms (14) and danced at the warehouse and one was 11 yes and lived with me in a rental and danced at the barn location. They both had tremendous improvement in their technique and loved the program.
Our son joined the program after a introductory summer camp experience back when he was four years old. Now, as a Level 2 dancer, the discipline and enthusiasm he has for ballet is extraordinary. He truly loves being there, participating in both learning and performing and he constantly raves about the teachers.
Where to begin? This school is a national treasure, and sets a high standard for classical ballet respected on an international level (students from here are accepted to top schools all over the world!).
My daughter had a wonderful experience at the Summer Intensive. While the days were long, the mix of faculty she had over the five weeks made her a stronger dancer. Her year-round teacher has positively commented on her form. The dorms and food were great (according to my daughter) as well.
Your first ballet class at Central Pennsylvania 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.
