I recently enrolled my 15 year old daughter in BSS after her high school could not fulfill her needs for an extra curricular activity. I am really happy that i choose this one because they make us feel like we are not the new family and they welcomed us in. My daughter stated that even the other students treat her like family and are very helpful. They are helping me to make my daughter a well rounded individual and to become more aware of the endless possibilities out there for her. She is a very shy child and this class has built her confidence so much that she is auditioning for her first play.

My daughter has attend the school for a number of years and has grown as a dancer and a young woman under the direction of the wonderful staff of the school. Aside from receiving excellent Ballanchine-style ballet training, she has learned about personal health and hygiene, accepting disappointment (in not receiving roles), supporting classmates, personal responsibility, time management, etc. She really looks forward to the summer program every year where they are really allowed to explore their passions as well as dip their toes into new dance styles. I'm proud to be a part of a school that is an excellent citizen of our diverse city too. BSS's outreach is excellent. They are always willing to step up and contribute to public school functions in any way they can.

I enrolled my daughter at age 5. She is 14 now and has attended each session (plus summer sessions)continuously. The BSS staff has become an extended family to us, they are genuinely concern and dedicated in grooming a well rounded dancer/person. The program is reflective of the New York City Ballet in that the BSS requires uniform dress for each level achieved, in addition to Bun Day, where the student is taught the correct way to style her hair in a bun. I have seen a young duckling grow into a beautiful swan. Because of ballet my daughter has gained confidence in many areas of her life. She has established longterm friendships and new found friends from around the world. She has become exposed to such genres as classical music and foreign languages. I believe the physical benefits of attending the BSS will serve her well into her adult life. We are grateful to have found the BSS program and recommend the school to every community.
