At Alaya Dance School your child will love the friendly atmosphere while feeling comfortable in their intimate and fun studio.
There is a class for everyone. Some of the many classes and services they offer are Ballet, Jazz, Zumba, Creative Movement, Dance Story, Flexibility/Stretching and Arts & crafts after school programs.
I had the pleasure of seeing my daughter learn ballet in person for the first time at the Alaya Dance School. It’s such a beautiful studio in downtown Ardsley, NY. Classes are taught by American Ballet Theatre Certified teachers. The staff is so patient, kind and professional. They take Covid safety seriously with lots of space between dancers, mask mandates and proper hand hygiene when you enter the studio. They provide the students with a nurturing, friendly environment where the students learn skills and values not only for dance, but for life itself. Self-respect, confidence, and discipline are some of the core values they instill even at a young age.
Honestly, there is nothing like seeing your adorable three-year-old in a fluffy tutu and ballet shoes dancing around class with other little ballerinas. It’s literally the definition of cuteness overload.
Baby ballet which consists of 3- and 4-year-olds, was the class my daughter was a part of. With play being such a critical element to healthy growth and development of children, the class created a magical, creative and fun environment where the little ones were introduced to the fundamental movements of dance through play. You can see each kids’ personalities really start to shine. In the beginning my daughter felt a little nervous, which is completely normal for this age but within minutes she warmed up. Seeing a sense of accomplishment on my daughter’s face after each class as she ran home to show off her new dance moves, made it all worth while!
We will definitely be going back for the next session of classes and hope you give them a try too!
