"Ballet Arts' performance at the J.V. Forrestal Elementary School was a unique experience for our students. They were very impressed to see the ballet dancers perform so gracefully. I could hear students talking about the performance and trying to imitate some of the dance moves they saw. Bringing Ballet Arts Studio to the J.V. Forrestal Elementary School was my way of supporting the arts and the Beacon Community. I wish the talented students at Ballet Arts Studio much success."

"Ballet Arts has been a very important part of our daughter Lucy's life since she entered the school 14 years ago at age 4. Through the expertise, commitment and focus demonstrated by her teachers, she has learned poise, grace and the importance of discipline and focus in all endeavors, while at the same time becoming an accomplished dancer. She now dreams of dancing on Broadway—and given the training she has received, that dream can certainly become a reality. A wonderful bonus for her are the many close friendships that she has formed at Ballet Arts over the years."

"My eleven year old daughter has
studied at Ballet Arts Studio
in Beacon for eight years.
She has blossomed as a dancer,
as well as an individual. Ballet
Arts is a wonderfully safe place
where my daughter has made
friends and created mentor
relationships with the faculty.
We have been pleased to be a
part of the amazing opportunities
that Ballet Arts Studio has
provided—including dancing
locally as well as at a venue in
New York City."

"We discovered Ballet Arts Studio nearly nearly years ago when my daughter, Lianna, was 11 years old. Transitioning to a new program can be difficult, but at Ballet Arts we were delighted to feel so welcome and to enjoy individual attention from talented, professional and caring teachers. Since starting training at Ballet Arts, I have been thrilled with my daughter’s growth as a dancer. Her renewed dedication and commitment is remarkable, and she looks forward to another amazing year as a dancer member of the Dutchess Ballet Company. Our experience at Ballet Arts continues to be enriching and rewarding; we are very fortunate to have this extraordinary resource within our reach!"

"My nine year old daughter, Kaelin, began dancing at Ballet Arts Studio a little more than three years ago. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of instruction provided by the talented faculty. Kaelin’s instructors consistently put students first and provide a nurturing, yet rigorous curriculum that focuses on the individual dancer. There is great emphasis on developing a strong technical foundation and nurturing a love of performing arts that I am confident will serve her well as she matures. Most importantly, year by year I see my daughter developing greater poise, confidence, physical coordination, and self-discipline -- all qualities that will help her in other areas of her life, from academics to athletics to creative pursuits and beyond."
