New York Theatre Ballet School

"This is such an outstanding organization and the Director is an STAR in every sense of the word! See the movie LIFT if you can and learn about their program which teaching ballet to children living in shelters and how it changes their lives."

"I couldn't be happier with the ballet school where my daughter attends. The corrections the teachers make are both insightful and constructive, helping her improve with each lesson. What's truly heartwarming is the strong friendships she's formed with her fellow dancers. The teachers are not only incredibly skilled but also kind and approachable, always willing to assist both students and parents. It's impressive to see how involved the kids are in shows from such a young age, fostering confidence and a love for the art. This school has truly been a wonderful experience for our family."

"My very first dance class ever was five years ago with New York Theatre Ballet. I joined the adult beginner ballet class not knowing what to expect, but I quickly realized that I had found an amazing group of people and dancers. The teachers are fantastic! If you ask for help, they will guide you with focused suggestions that are specific to your body and skill level. I have grown so much stronger and more flexible over the years, all while gaining an appreciation of the artistry and athleticism of classical ballet. If you have ever considered giving ballet a try, or want to restart after some time away, don’t hesitate to join a class. I wish I could give them ten stars!"

"A gem of a ballet school. Our family is so grateful for the exceptional quality of instruction and training our daughters receive at NYTB, and for the nurturing and empowering environment that Ms. Byer and all of the teachers and staff help to foster.  We've been with the school for over a year and a half and it has been nothing but a great experience for our daughters, and their proud parents. We love being a part of the NYTB family!"

"Ms. Diana Byer has taught my daughter ballet for over a decade. Ms. Byer, exudes professionalism, excellence, and passion. She is very dedicated to her students, and genuinely wants what is best for them. Through my daughter's time at New York Theatre Ballet, she has developed my daughter's technique, provided her with great opportunities, and opened many doors for success. I recommend this school and all of its staff who are dedicated to furthering the world of dance and extremely dedicated to what they do. More than anything, this school will prepare your child to be a professional dancer should they want to pursue dance as a profession."
