There may be hundreds of dancers at BYB, but my daughter feels valued & included. Management, teachers, students, and parents are welcoming & encouraging & positive. Mrs. Adalhi is providing something special in Lexington: a real dance community.
All of our children take ballet classes here, and they think it's the greatest activity in the world. They are always, I mean every single time, excited about lessons. The instructors are all super nice, welcoming, supportive, and great at teaching ballet. There are three major performances each year, and they are an emotional blast to watch, and our children feel very proud to be a part of them. I'm very happy with this wonderful organization.
Our son walked into Bluegrass Youth Ballet at age 3 and immediately loved it. Growing up as a male ballet dancer over the past 13 years, he has never felt alone, since there were always other boys involved in the program, in addition to specific classes for their technique. More recently, the number of boys at BYB has increased dramatically and our son now serves as a mentor to many of the younger males. BYB has taught him amazing self-discipline and dance skills, but equally as important, it has guided him to become part of a supportive and positive community.
