Ballet Is Our Passion

We love the classes at CTY. Our 5yo has grown so much as a dancer under Ms Rena’s guidance. She loves that she’s taking a “real” ballet class and we love the structure and discipline of the classical ballet instruction. The classes are a great value too. We get two classes per week for the same price we were paying our last studio for one class a week. The end-of-semester shows are so nice too. In December, the students worked collaboratively to dance part of the Nutcracker. It was so fun to see the dancers act in a show rather than just review a few moves in a recital.

My daughter had been going to another dance studio in the local area, and she had expressed her desire to get on pointe. I knew that the current studio she was at was not the right fit for what is required for a ballerina on pointe. I looked around and I found Central Texas Youth Ballet and fell in love with the philosophy of training to skill, not to grade. Rena is amazing and she takes the time to truly teach what it means to practice ballet. It’s not about offer a wide variety of dance styles and a huge schedule offering to get tons and tons of students in–CTYB-is about preparing the student with discipline, patience and sacrifice to be a well trained ballerina. They put on the most breath taking “Nutcracker” too.
