Our younger students learning balletAll classes are taught here in our professionally equipped studio on New York's Upper East Side.

Studying dance provides great physical benefits including good posture, strength and excellent muscle toning.

Our most popular classes include Ballet and Dance for both Mommy-n-Me and Toddlers, as well as Hip Hop, Tap, Broadway and Jazz.

Please see our Class Description to find out which classes would be of most interest to your child. In association with Elite Body Pilates and Center for Dance and Body, we also offer adult classes.

At American Youth Dance Theater, we strongly believe in performance as a vehicle to enhance learning and promote a positive self-image. All AYDT students ages Pre-School through High School have the opportunity to perform in our Holiday Spectacular and our Spring Recital. These performances are held in a theatrical setting complete with costumes, scenery and lighting. All our students love performing, and the most frequently asked question after a performance is "When is the next show?". Not all kids are natural performers. Some go on stage with great ease, while others are a bit shy. Thankfully, the nurturing environment at AYDT provides a safe atmosphere for all students to develop the self-confidence to go on stage and showcase their progress for family and friends. Words cannot express the joy felt by parents and faculty members during our performances, as we watch each student shine in their own unique way.
