Good: I most loved the care and concern for the children as people. I loved seeing the children open up and brighten their eyes when the instructor arrives.. Bad: I most disliked that there aren't enough of these individuals in the other parts of New York!. Improvements: I would love to see more of these NAYBs around all of the five boroughs. They are priceless..

New American Youth Ballet offers classes for kids as young as 2. They try to make the class fun for kids and they have props like puppets and rubber ducks. They "paint" rainbows and pretend to have sticky bubble gum on their shoes. The classes are small for the younger classes so there is a lot of individual attention. They suggest donations as payment for classes and those who cannot afford it can make separate arrangements. Their philosophy is that activities like these should be accessible to everyone. The two drawbacks are that their remote location makes it a little bit difficult to get to and the studio is quite small. http://www.newamericanyouthballet.com/
