From the reviews
NYPAC is a family owned dance studio in the heart of Washingtonville! This is our 3rd year here and we would never go anywhere else! From caring and talented instructors to all the fellow dancer, we truly have a second family here!
I love dancing at NYPAC! All the teachers are so amazing! They have such talented students and staff! The studios are such good quality and they have so many different dance classes to offer!#NYPAC
We have loved being apart of this dance community. Great classes and owners attentive to the needs of children.
We started in November with a Mommy & Me class, and it’s been such a wonderful experience. My daughter is currently the youngest in the class, but her teacher welcomed her with open arms from day one and made us feel completely at home.
Your first ballet class at New York Performing Arts Center
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.
