From the reviews
We moved to Newport this summer and heard from a friend that this was the studio to sign up for ballet- we did the pre ballet camp, and my daughter loved it! She also grew so much as a dancer in 1 week!
Our daughter joined The Academy at NCB a couple of years ago when we moved from Boston to RI. It has been such a gift to find this wonderfully creative and supportive community.
My daughter has been dancing here for five years, and I am so impressed with the studio and the teachers. The environment is warm and welcoming and the studio spaces are beautiful. The teachers are current or former professional ballet dancers and they excel at teaching technique in an engaging way.
Our daughter has been dancing at Newport Academy of Ballet for five years, and we couldn’t love it more. The instructors are incredibly dedicated, nurturing, and truly passionate about their craft. We’ve watched our daughter grow not only as a dancer but also in confidence, discipline, and joy.
Your first ballet class at The Academy at Newport Contemporary 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.
