★★★★★ — Danielle, Aug 2016

Our 8yo daughter has been taking ballet for a few years and had the great fortune to be able to attend a 3-week summer intensive at Texas Youth Ballet this summer. The intensive was highly focused and constructive and the training she received was top-notch.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Aug 2024

Wonderful instruction in classical ballet. Small class size for plenty of personal attention. Heavy on the art, little to no emphasis on competition. Positive environment promoting mentor-like relationships between older and younger dancers.

★★★★★ — Damon, May 2018

Great classical ballet school! The owner and instructors are very professional and focus on the students becoming excellent dancers. This school gives the kids the opportunity to be in full length performances and not just recitals.

★★★★★ — Steve, Mar 2020

Your first ballet class at Texas 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.
