From the reviews
I have danced at the Conservatory of Ballet Aviv since the age of 9 in 2005 all the way up until July of 2015. Having danced at COBA for ten years, I can say I have loved my whole experience there. Honestly, the only reason I am not continuing to dance here is because I am moving away for college.
I cannot say enough about this studio! - First -- as a dancer -- there is nowhere else where you can find this type of detailed training and coaching. The technique is impeccable, the choreography is next level (literally and some of it is classic real ballets), and the training is that of a collegiate level, yet it…
This was our first year with Ballet Aviv, and the recital completely exceeded our expectations--it was absolutely beautiful. The older students were clearly very well trained and danced at a high level. Costumes were modest, elegant, and age-appropriate, and the music was tastefully chosen for each group.
COBA has been part of our daughter’s journey for 5 years. During these years, COBA has inspired a strong, beautiful, passionate, happy spirit in our daughter. Katie and Christina are highly qualified ABT teachers and have years of experience as both dancers and dance instructors.
Your first ballet class at Conservatory of Ballet Aviv
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.
