From the reviews
I have danced in many studios under many different teachers and by far Phyllis Rothwell has created the most professional yet welcoming environment for her students. She is kind, genuine, caring toward her students, and knows how to create levity when something is frustrating.
From the day we started at WSYB I knew we had found the right place! My daughter was welcomed in and she felt very comfortable. Phyllis is absolutely amazing inside and out and cares about the children that come into her studio and takes the time to help them grow as well as have compassion and patience that is always…
Phyllis is an incredibly talented teacher, she is so kind and such an inspiration to her students. My daughter is absolutely thrilled to be part of the very special WSYB family.
I attended their recital in back in May (2021), “Vineyard Variations”, and from just that performance I could tell that WYSB’s artistic director, Ms. Rothwell, is very skilled at cultivating a loving environment for learning and growth.
Your first ballet class at Washington State 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.
