The New York Theatre Ballet School provides small class sizes with individualized instruction for each student. Younger children get an immersive introduction to ballet dance, while intermediate and advanced students continue to hone their skills in a variety of specialized classes and repertory.
The New York Theatre Ballet School was founded by artistic director Diana Byer in 1978 as the official training school of New York Theatre Ballet. The school teaches dance as a total art form, developing strong technical skill and discipline. Following the Cecchetti syllabus, classes emphasize music, theatricality, gesture and style. For the advanced and professional level student classes in modern, theater dance, pointe, variations and repertory round out the training curriculum. Well-trained Cecchetti dancers have purity of line and simplicity of style which enables them to take their place in dance companies throughout the world. Photo by Rachel Neville.
