From the reviews

NMYB is truly not your run of the mill ballet studio. We have BOYS in our studio, not just one or two but at least 16 with an incredible male dance program. It is a studio where everyone matters, from the children who are here to just enjoy and have fun, all the way to those on a pre-professional track.

NMYB is an amazing studio led by tremendous people who are masters in their professions and truly great people. Anyone who has seen their recitals can see the quality of their work and even better, the maturation of the dancers within the studio.

★★★★★ — Bill, Jun 2017

At NMYB you don't just get dance classes, you get a curriculum. Their holistic ballet theater program sets them apart from any other dance studio in Fairfield County. Here, students receive not only top-tier training but also abundant performance opportunities.

★★★★★ — Cara, Dec 2023

The NMYB studio is a true family. The older dancers mentor the younger dance students. It is a joy to see the dancers advance through their years at NMYB Mr Adam is an amazing teacher. Ms Christina and Mr Chris are the supportive founders that bring Ballet Bliss to life.

Your first ballet class at Norwalk Metropolitan Youth 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.

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.
