From the reviews

Excelente Servicio. Exceptional customer service and I have my granddaughter's happiness to be a part of this family oriented dance troupe. I better not say more because my granddaughter will tell me that I embarrassed her 🙈. But we love her so much that her happiness is our #1 GOAL IN THIS LIFETIME.

Amazing dance school that has been around for 40 years! You know they're doing something right. Not only do the children learn how to dance, but they learn how to socialize and build lasting friendships and confidence in themselves.

My family has been involved with YACB and Ballet Continental for 30 years. The school is based on classical teaching of ballet, but has broadened over the years to include jazz, tap, pointe (toe), hip hop, and more.

★★★★★ — Linnea, May 2021

This is a 5 star studio for sure. The teachers and directors are amazing. They really care about the kids and always take the extra time to make sure all of the kids know the dances and feel special. My granddaughter loves going to dance on Wednesdays. It is a very enjoyable time for her. YACB is the best dance studio!

Your first ballet class at Young Artists' Community Ballet Academy of Dance

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.
