Manhattan Youth Ballet is a performance-based ballet academy using a graded syllabus in the tradition of the great ballet academies of Europe.  Our Core Curriculum is taught in eight levels, each of which has a specific set of skills that the student must achieve in order to advance to the next level. The physical and artistic well-being of the student is the main consideration for determining level placement.  Students will spend approximately two years in their level.
The School Calendar for the MYB regular school program has two semesters:  September through January and February to mid-June.  We also have a two week Summer Intensive Program that usually runs from the mid-August to the end of August, and brings in students from all over North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.


Acceptance into the Manhattan Youth Ballet regular school program or the Summer Intensive is by audition only.  Scholarships are available based on need and artistic ability.
Principal members of our Dance Faculty come from Paris Opera Ballet, the Kirov, the French National Conservatory of Dance, New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and the Juilliard School.
Our former students are currently dancing with diverse professional companies, including American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Nederland Dans Theatre, Boston Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Washington Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet.
