From the reviews
We cannot speak highly enough of our daughter’s experience at SSYB! The instructors are not only excellent teachers and choreographers, but they also make the classes challenging, fun, and energetic. Our three-year-old daughter is thriving in the creative movement class with Ms. Cristiane.
Both of my daughters take class at Saratoga Springs Youth Ballet. The teachers are excellent. They keep classes fun while teaching beautiful technique. I have also been impressed with safety precautions taken this year, we have felt very safe all year long.
My daughter has been dancing with the co-directors for over 8 years. They (along with the other instructors) have provided a top notch pre-professional education in ballet. We highly recommend this studio!
My child has been happily dancing at Saratoga Springs Youth Ballet for 5 years, as of this review. We have had such a positive experience over the years. The teachers and directors are kind, patient, and truly invested in making the students feel welcome and supported.
Your first ballet class at Saratoga Springs 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.
