From the reviews
I can not say enough good things about NYPAC! My daughter had been taking dance classes at another local studio for many years, and we were mostly unhappy. We were so lucky to learn about NYPAC and have only had a positive experience there.
My daughter has danced with several studios in the Westchester, NY area. We found New York Performing Arts Center four years ago and know this is the right studio for us.

My daughter started dancing at NYPAC this past Fall and joined the Hip Hop dance team. She is having such a wonderful and fun experience. She is so proud to be a member of NYPAC. The other moms and children have been very inviting and helpful.
Your first ballet class at New York Performing Arts Center (NYPAC)
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.
