My daughter has been a student at Central Maryland Youth Ballet for about a month now and we…read morecouldn't be happier. It is run by a husband and wife team of professional dancers. Jacob, the instructor who works with the teens and adults, strikes a nice balance between providing one-on-one guidance and allowing the students to learn by watching their more experienced classmates. He steps in to gently correct when necessary, but, perhaps more importantly, knows when not to. The female instructor works with the young children and appears to be very well-liked; the kids all respond positively to her direction. The school is located in the very back of the industrial park on Berger Road in a quiet area with plenty of parking. The teen/adult classes are taught on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 7:45. A punch card of 10 lessons costs $187.50 ($175 if you pay the balance upfront). When you consider that the classes regularly extend past the 7:45 end time, as well as the individualized attention that the students receive, Central Maryland Youth Ballet is easily the best value for the money in Columbia. I spent about three weeks researching the many, many ballet schools in the area before settling on this one. I spoke by phone with about a dozen directors. In contrast with the somewhat snooty reception I received at several of the other schools, this one seems to understand that some teens do not necessarily want to make a career of ballet; they simply want to learn as much as they can and have fun. That outlook meshes perfectly with our intentions in signing up for the Wednesday open classes. I look forward to bringing my daughter here weekly for as long as she wants to dance.

The class was challenging, but accommodating and at no point did I feel shamed or embarrassed for not being able to do a full move. The class is like a mix of yoga, ballet, and Pilates and the instructor was great. If it wasn't 30 minutes from me (on a good day), I'd subscribe on the spot. I will definitely come by again for a drop in class.

Also, the owner provides amazing customer service. Signed kiddo up for a 10 day trial and he missed it due to illness. The owner offered to extend the free trial so we could try twice.
