Manhattan Youth Ballet has acquired a reputation for excellent teaching in an intimate and individually supportive environment. The school’s graduates have danced professionally with American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, Ballet de Espa\u00f1a, San Francisco Ballet and Complexions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Education is a top priority at Manhattan Youth Ballet and the school has numerous community outreach programs to promote dance education.\u00a0 Since moving to its new home at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center in September 2008, over 2,500 New York City school children have participated in lecture demonstrations and\/or been MYB’s invited guests at full-length performances.\u00a0 For more information, visit www.manhattanyouthballet.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About Manhattan Movement & Arts Center<\/p>\n Manhattan Movement & Arts Center was developed by Rose Caiola as the home of the Manhattan Youth Ballet.\u00a0 Ms. Caiola, a former dancer and actress, founded the academy in the fall of 1994 as Studio Maestro at 48 W. 68th Street, and today serves as the youth ballet’s executive artistic director.\u00a0 As the ballet academy grew, the search for a larger space inspired in Ms. Caiola a highly personal vision of a studio and theater complex that would encompass all aspects of dance education and performance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n mmac opened its doors in June 2008, occupying a dramatic bi-level space within The Element, a luxury high-rise condominium. mmac’s theater, has become a popular off-broadway venue for both sit down and limited run productions. mmac’s studios host a variety of classes including open ballet and fitness, a full mmac kids curriculum, as well as a number of Broadway Workshops and rehearsals with stars such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Natalie Portman, and Alec Baldwin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information about mmac, visit www.manhattanmovement.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n #<\/p>\n
