Studio is in a dingy, run down building, I had to wait on staff to open the offices on the first day of classes (even though we were only ten minutes early), and they were going to force my 6 yo to wear a mask. We’ll find a different studio.
Thanks to Mary Halverstadt, my daughter started dance at this studio when she was four. Since then she has grown to love all forms of dance, and she loves educating the community about ballet through library and school demonstrations and theater performances. We are so thankful to have this studio and its directors/teachers in our community!
This is by far my favorite dance studio in Huntsville. I think its important to mention that AYB is the ONLY STUDIO THAT ACCEPTS ADULTS AND CHALLENGES THEM. Most studios in Huntsville dont accept adults, and the ones that do place you in the adult or open classes, which arent as challenging. This studio has adult classes too for those adults looking to get back into dance or do it as a hobby, but they also let adults take with whichever level they are at, meaning they can be in the youth classes if thats the skill level they are at. The youth classes are more challenging than the adult classes, so its great that they allow the adults to take with the youth. They are a great ballet school, but they also offer other great classes like jazz, tap, modern, and hip hop. They also offer a great pilates class, which is good for cross-training/supplementing your dance classes.
AYB is an amazing studio! It offers excellent instruction in many different disciplines of dance in a family friendly, supportive environment. The teachers are excellent and tuition is affordable. I also appreciate that AYB uses tasteful and age appropriate music, choreography, and costumes. There are classes available for every age (even adults) and every level (beginner to advanced). In addition to ballet there are classes in jazz, tap, hip hop, pilates, and musical theatre. There are also beginning level classes for teens and adults looking to either get back into ballet or try it for the first time. I have loved my experience at AYB, give AYB a try and I guarantee you wont be disappointed!
I love there classes for ballet and the teachers to!
Best place to have your family learn Ballet!
Its like a family
