From the reviews

Awesome teachers and facilities, but the front desk staff is not very friendly and quite uppity in their attitudes when you ask them a question. So 1 star deducted for that.

★★★★☆ — R., Jan 2020

Our 10yo has been in classes and camps at New Albany Ballet since preschool and has had a wonderful experience. They put on beautiful performances, especially The Nutcracker, but there's a focus on learning commitment and focus, gratitude, making better kids and dancers.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Jan 2023

Professional and dedicated staff make this an amazing dance school. It has been exactly what we were looking for when our daughter showed interest in ballet and has both encouraged and challenged her as she has moved through the classes and developed her skills.

★★★★★ — Craig, Jan 2021

I’m a mother of a former student Stephanie Finoti who trained in the trainee pre-professional program with the amazing teachers that they have. NABC gave us the opportunities to help pay for her tuition while Stephanie taught toddler ballet classes there.

Your first ballet class at New Albany Ballet Company

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
