From the reviews
My daughter (nearly 8) has been dancing with WJYB since she was three. We started as one day a week part time students and have increased the number of classes every year, joining their Conservatory program for the 2025/2026 year.
WJYB is unlike any other dance studio I've experienced. The staff foster a caring environment that is evident in not just how the teachers and admin staff treat the students, but how the students treat each other. They also focus on proper ballet and dance technique and prioritize a dancers overall well-being.
Our family has been with Ms. Joanna and Ms. Elena for 8 years. My girls have grown both as people and as dancers in their time. Excellent pre-professional training for dancers at all levels. Great performance opportunities and a warm, family-like atmosphere.
I have been dancing with joanna and elena since I was 5 or 6 year old. Im now 16 and they have helped me so so much with my dance career. Everyone at WJYB are so kind and loving and I can't wait everyday to walk in and see everyone's smiling faces!!!
Your first ballet class at West Jersey 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.
