We love everything about ARB! The management, the ballet and modern instruction, the professionally delivered performances, and the price! Bravo! Bravo! A quality dance studio with the heart of a dancer!

Formerly CBT, the new owners and directors, Jasmine and Yuri Nikitenko, are continuing the wonderful legacy created here and growing and expanding the program. The amazing and dedicated teachers provide top quality Vaganova ballet training to students of all ages. Their performances are professional quality and held at The Hylton Performing Arts Center.

Clases are excellent but it would be nice to see the place cleaner.

We recently switched to this studio and have found the curriculum is more challenging and this encourages more growth. We’re here to stay!

I highly, highly recommend Classical Ballet Theatre. My daughter has taken ballet classes at CBT for three years now, and we have been met with nothing but warmth, encouragement, and welcome by the lovely teachers there. All the classes are structured, engaging, and age-appropriate. And as a parent, I am extremely happy with CBTs highly esteemed faculty and staff, the well-developed curriculum, the challenging summer programs, the philanthropic community outreach, and the marvelous productions. Taking classes at CBT will teach your child more than just what he or she can do in the dance studio: he or she will learn lessons of perseverance, dedication, organization, time management, resilience -- all qualities which will make them a better person -- no matter where they end up in life.

My daughter has been dancing with ARB since the summer of 2019. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff and training. The directors are knowledgable, supportive, professional, nurturing, and very approachable. As a former dancer, these qualities are super hard to find, especially when they have all of the above. In addition, my daughter has had so many opportunities to grow as a dancer with ARB. Lots of performance opportunities, which she has really enjoyed. Highly recommend ARB!

CBT is the gold standard for ballet instruction in the Reston/Herndon area. The faculty members have demonstrated time and again in the over five years that my daughter has been a student that they genuinely care about her and her success - but more importantly, with her overall welfare. My daughter has grown as a dancer and as a person as a result of this studio. The curriculum is thorough and professional and has prepared my child to compete (and succeed) at the national level. I cannot say enough positive things about these instructors. They routinely go out of their way to make sure the students needs are met.

Horrible management...one good instructor they have there - their artistic director but he cant handle every class....the rest of the teachers are plain horrible, absolutely unprofessional
