New York Academy Of Ballet

"Best ballet studio by far in the Hudson Valley! Such a loving, supportive and knowledgeable teaching staff. Quality instruction for all ages and ability levels, professional performances at the Bardavon, and a love for dance instilled in every student. Can’t recommend NYAB enough!"

"New York Academy Of Ballet is a very upscale, professional studio. The studio is new, immaculate, and inviting. There is off street parking available and a waiting area inside the studio for parents. Expectations, dress code, tuition rates and due dates are clearly defined before classes. My daughter, resistant to ballet lessons, really blossomed during her first class with Miss Alessia. Alessia and her assistant really showed their experience during the class, she was able to show each of the students individual attention while keeping the class engaged. My daughter went into the class shy and reserved but came out happy and smiling, very well done!"

"My son started here about 6 months ago. The school he was at previously at was very fluff and worried about trophys. NYAB is teaching actual ballet and not this fluffy stuff. The teachers are,amazing and all teach dance as there full time jobs. Instead of a recital its a full on production at the Bardavon Theatre, Our son loves it and Susan and Alessia the owners are amazing. I love,the room the floor is a professional dance floor and sprung great on the kids legs. Its also got a wall of,glass so I can see my son dance."

"A professional ballet school that starts nurturing little ballet souls at a young age. I find that this studio stands alone in our area with technique, credibility and and critical thinking theory based curriculum. The professionally produced yearly performance at the Bardavon is incredible!!!"

"I am the mother of a 4 yr old who attends ballet lessons, and we LOVE this school! If you are looking for lessons that incorporate the technique of ballet and not fluff, this is the only academy to attend in Poughkeepsie and surrounding area.The instructor is welcoming, kind and a true ballet dancer and artist. Many of her students go on to dance professionally."
