From the reviews
YPAC is in a class of its own! Top notch instructors and great community of parents and kids. We enrolled as soon as they opened, just to see if we'd like it. We decided pretty fast that this is absolutely the place for us and have never looked back!
YPAC is an environment where kids today need to be! It is a place where students are valued,accepted, and appreciated for who they are! It is a positive and respectful environment that begins at the top with Miss Emily and filters down to her staff and instructors.
My daughter has attended YPAC since it opened in Yorkville in 2013 and we could not be happier with her growth, development, and learning to lead. It's a positive environment for a dancer and a growing girl. Her technique is very strong and the focus is technique rather than perfecting the recital pieces.
My girls have participated in the theater and dance productions at ypac. I am impressed with quality of the productions, the kindess of the staff and the sense of community that YPAC cultivates. It's so much more than a dance studio. They organize meals for when a student is seriously ill.
Your first ballet class at Your Performing Arts Center
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.
