Greenwich Ballet Academy

“Since coming to GBA 4 years ago I have been able to strengthen my Vaganova technique and have had the opportunity to compete in the Youth America Grand Prix competition.  While at GBA I also have had the amazing opportunity to teach the Adaptive Dance class.  I have grown and matured not only as a dancer but as an individual through my experiences here.”

I have been at student at GBA for almost 8 years!  I love GBA.  The teachers are disciplined but I feel that they really care about helping me improve towards all of my goals.  I also love the friendship I have with the other students.  It’s a very competitive world I know, but at GBA, we support each other in every way.

“GBA has brought a level of rigor to my son’s ballet training that surpassed my expectations.  The expertise of the GBA faculty along with their high standards have made my son a better dancer and his goal of being a professional dancer is now within reach.”

Greenwich Ballet Academy offers an amazing program. The teachers are professional and give valuable corrections to strengthen and improve my technique. The environment is friendly, but also professional, for everyone works very hard to put together performances, with different repertoire each year. I have learned unique and valuable lessons, in life and in ballet, that I couldn’t have experienced anywhere else.

After participating in other local dance programs, my daughters came to GBA because they were interested in pursuing more rigorous ballet training.  At GBA, students receive world class training from passionate, committed teachers who impart their love of the art of ballet.  Discipline, confidence and teamwork carry over into their lives outside the studio.  I am thankful that my girls can receive this caliber of training without traveling to New York City.

“My daughter entered ballet largely to gain strength and coordination.  Now, she carries herself with such poise and her technique is immediately recognized by professionals as having a flawless foundation.” 

We have been part of the GBA family since my daughter was 2 years old, and we can’t imagine being anywhere else.  Year over year there has been marked improvement in my daughter’s performance and she has grown in her confidence, poise and flexibility.  The teachers at GBA truly care about her progress and continue to inspire her to be the best she can be.

GBA is a great school for the serious student who has dreams of pursuing a career in ballet. The teachers are wonderful, the classes are small and the students receive a lot of individual attention. In the few years that we have been part of the GBA family, I have seen a dramatic improvement in my daughter’s technique. The students learn from faculty trained in the Vaganova style, all of whom have had illustrious careers as dancers. There are also very talented guest teachers who visit the school, and a number of exciting performance opportunities throughout the year. I highly recommend GBA to any dancer who is committed to hard work and has a love of classical ballet.

I have grown so much in Greenwich Ballet Academy as a dancer, and as a person. The teachers are exceptional, and help you improve every day, giving you confidence in your technique and artistry. In Greenwich Ballet Academy everybody is supportive, and I am so happy to be a part of this extraordinary school.

“Since beginning GBA two years ago, our daughter has made tremendous gains from a technical perspective. However, as a parent observing our daughter acquire growth in her confidence on and off stage – we have noticed that this has carried over to all other areas in her young life. This has been the greatest gift she has received from GBA.”
