“Extremely attentive staff and professional school. I grew up at the school and the teachers there are phenomenal. I never once doubted that giving me a complete education while creating a profound appreciation for dance, music, and artistic expression, were of the utmost importance to them.”

“Being in the Academy was a great experience! I had a lot of fun at the performances and formed close friendships with the other Academy dancers.”
“When our daughter was in fourth grade we were at a real crossroads with ballet. Because of moves and school closures we were looking for our fourth school in almost as many years. We have now been with the School of the Albany Berkshire Ballet for eight years and it has literally changed the course of her life. The opportunity to learn a craft, a serious art form, at the highest level is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what ABB offers; our daughter has not only studied ballet but learned how to work hard, discovered her amazing capacity for work, made lifelong friends, and connected with her teachers and mentors in a much deeper way than she could connect with teachers at her school. Whatever her future, her experience at SABB will serve her for the rest of her life.”
“We value the additional life skills our child is gaining – working as a team, self worth, and obtaining new skills she enjoys.”
“I am writing to let you know that I was accepted into Ballet Academy East’s pre-professional program. My family and I have decided to take this amazing opportunity. I am forever grateful for my two years at SABB. I couldn’t have done this without your Faculty and the amazing training provided. Please pass on my gratitude.”
“Such a professional school with excellent teachers. We have travel two hours to take advantage of the excellent instruction and professionalism of this school! Highly recommend it!”

“It makes me very happy and confident we made the right decision by choosing SABB when other people notice and ask if my daughter is taking ballet classes because of her graceful moves. Another thing I love about SABB is the communication – how fast we get a response when we contact them with any questions. Staff is always welcoming with a big smile. We are very happy with SABB :)”
“Joining the junior company program this year has helped me grow and become a stronger dancer from the variety of classes offered. Even though I was fairly new to the school, I felt welcomed right away from both the teachers and students. I am so thankful to be immersed in an encouraging and supportive dance environment.”
“I used to be intimidated by the name Albany Berkshire Ballet, then I started adult classes after a long time and everyone was amazing. I enrolled my son and he has grown so much as a person – he is more confident and outgoing. I recommend the school to all my friends for themselves and their children.”
“Not only is my daughter developing wonderfully as a dancer, she is loving her experience and all are noticing how that happiness is shining through her.”
“Really lovely people working at the studio! We felt so welcomed. Loved that the staff knew all the kids’ names and their parents too! All the dancers appeared to have a good time and were happy to be there.”
