From the reviews
Our daughter started dancing with New Paltz School of Ballet when she was 3. Ten years later, her love of ballet has not faltered a bit. She loves her instructors, and the studio is her "home away from home." Her discipline of dance has spilled over into her personal and academic life.
We have been a part of the New Paltz School of Ballet family for eight years. I refer to us as part of a family at the school because the owners,Lisa and Peter, and the other exemplary instructors have been involved in helping my husband and I to raise focused, grounded, well-rounded, children.
Best ballet studio in the Hudson Valley!!! Owned and operated by two former NYCB dancers. They offer a nurturing, professional, caring, and fun environment that has allowed my daughter to flourish.
Many parents become aware of the New Paltz School of Ballet because of its sister organization the New Paltz Ballet Theatre’s annual production of the Nutcracker at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie. The high-quality production and the professionalism of the young dancers is impressive.
Your first ballet class at New Paltz School of 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.
