From the reviews
I haven't taken ballet since I was 5 years old, but thought I'd try the adult ballet class. I am having SO much fun! It's great exercise and I have such a feeling of accomplishment as I learn. The instructors are very knowledgable and they make the class interesting and entertaining.
We have been at CTYB for a year. I am so proud of what my daughter has learned under the caring guidance they provide. I continue to be impressed with the schools focus on skill, self confidence and art.
Central Texas Youth Ballet is the best pure classical Ballet school in our area. They teach technique which is very hard to find and their teachers are highly trained. My daughter has been a student of classical ballet for 13 years and have learned so much from the teachers at this studio.
Love, love, love CTYB in Dripping! So great to have a classical ballet studio in the heart of town. Cannot say enough good things about the owner and ballet teacher, Rena Reeder. She is amazing. My girls love her! They also take tap dancing and enjoy it too. Rena and CTYB are a real gem in Dripping Springs!
Your first ballet class at Central Texas 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.
