History
Founded by Diana Byer in 1978, Ballet School NY is 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. Well-trained Cecchetti dancers have purity of line and simplicity of style, which enable them to take their place in dance companies throughout the world. For qualified students, the school's unique relationship with NYTB provides performing experience throughout the year in ballets featuring roles for children.
