From the reviews
A dance school that takes their craft seriously! VSPAC has a long-standing reputation as the best dance school in Bay Ridge. The teachers are all excellent, some used to dance here as children and are now passing their skills down to the next generation.
Vicky’s Performing Arts Center has been providing high quality dance and theatre education for over 50 years . Her contributions span over several generations of dancers as her students always come back to provide their children with the same rich cultural experience and the life long friendships that form.
Being a part of this studio is being a member of a huge dance family ♡ my sisters and I grew up practically living at this studio and loved every minute and the lifelong friendships made. They are serious about dance and the level of dance taught here simply cannot be beat!
I grew at VSPAC from a little dancer to an assistant and now a teacher I also went from a regular dancer to a professional dancer with the Vicky Simegiatos Company. I also did Piano with Voytek i did it for 10ish years and love it an I still know Xmas music.
Your first ballet class at Vicky Simegiatos Performing Arts Center - VSPAC
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.
