Founded in 1995 by Executive Artistic Director Rose Caiola, Manhattan Youth Ballet has grown into one of New York City's premier pre-professional ballet programs. What began as a small school housed in Studio Maestro with a vision of providing exceptional training, has evolved into a thriving community of artists, guided by renowned faculty and distinguished guest teachers from the world's leading dance institutions.

​

Since relocating to Manhattan Movement & Arts Center in 2008, MYB has continued to expand its impact, offering a comprehensive six-level curriculum, world-class instruction, and multiple annual performance opportunities.

 

Today, students from across the New York metropolitan area train in an environment that emphasizes technical excellence, artistic expression, and personal growth, preparing them for professional dance careers, higher education, and a lifelong appreciation of the arts.
