We will forever be grateful to New Albany Ballet Company as they have provided so much for our daughters in the past 10 years. The building alone inspires the students to dance! The teachers are outstanding and professional. The precise focus on technique prepares the students to achieve all of their dance goals. The teachers have created an environment of care, continuous learning and friendship. They not only help their students develop into strong dancers but they teach confidence, compassion, teamwork and perseverance, allowing them to grow both inside and outside the studio. It is definitely a place of comfort for our girls and we appreciate that so much!

It was a pleasure to talk with you both tonight. Our daughter Amelia had been attending NABC for the last five years and I can’t say enough good things about your program. I recently read the letter you sent home with the 3As and it was beautifully written explaining to the girls how they should conduct themselves, reminding them how proud you were and how they should treat their parents for the experience of ballet. The note echoed the great concepts you teach them in a world that sometimes feels has lost traditional values and skills that our children need to learn. Your focus on instilling body positivity, discipline, respect and hard work is much appreciated and just what young girls need as they grow into adults. The skills taught at ballet will be taken into the real world. Your passion and love for the girls is felt when you remind them how they should act as mentors to the younger girls when you say, “as I have raised you to do.” In summary, thank you both and your entire team at NABC for running a great school.

My daughter’s dance instructors have been supportive throughout her nine-year dance journey, especially during an injury and recovery last year. They not only respected her decision-making process when she had to choose whether or not to perform, but they also guided her and held her accountable with care and understanding. Their support has not only helped her physically but has also boosted her confidence in self-advocacy. We are grateful for the time and effort they continue to invest in her growth, both as a dancer and as an individual.

NABC has been the one constant source of socialization for all 3 of my kiddos this summer- A summer without camps or the pool or play dates. We have taken an abundance of caution with covid and are grateful that, while keeping them virtual in the fall, we can feel confident in the precautionary measures NABC has in place (temp checks, social distancing, masks, huge, state of the art, well-ventilated studio) to offer some level of normalcy and peer interaction for our kids. Don’t know what we’d do without that connection. If you’re looking for a second to none studio, urge you to check out their open house this Thursday!

Our daughter began attending NABC in 2018 when she attended the The Beauty and the Beast summer camp. The whole family came to watch her perform on the last day of camp, and we immediately fell in love with the entire experience, from the wonderful teachers to the welcoming, peaceful atmosphere of the studio. The day after she performed at the camp, my dad passed away unexpectedly; her camp performance was the last time we saw him. What brings me so much joy is that he got to see his granddaughter perform in her very first ballet recital. He was completely in awe as he watched her dance that day, and he said that he hoped we would continue bringing her to NABC for classes. So we have. The dance camps have become the sweetest summer tradition for us, and this fall, she will begin her third year dancing ballet at NABC. We are so grateful that she has such a beautiful place to dance and grow. Precious memories have already been made here, and we’re looking forward to the years to come at this exquisite studio!
