Training
Find Your
Floor
Three distinct paths. One sprung floor. Whether you are chasing a conservatory letter or simply reclaiming your body's first language.
Conservatory Track
Vaganova syllabus, pointe work, variations, partnering, and audition coaching for dancers ages 14–19 pursuing conservatory acceptance. 34 graduates placed in the last five years.
Barre & Beyond
Your body never forgot. We just help it remember. Foundational to advanced barre for dancers returning after time away. No audition — only intention.
Structured Wildness
Barre conditioning, release technique, somatic practice, and open improvisation. For movers who want discipline without surrender.
Voices
Dancers Who
Trained Here
I auditioned for Juilliard three times before training here. After one year with Nadia's pre-professional track, I got in. The difference wasn't just technique — it was the way they teach you to inhabit the music.
Priya Chandrasekaran
Juilliard School, Class of 2024
I stopped dancing at 22 when life got in the way. I came back at 38 terrified my body had forgotten everything. It hadn't. This studio gave me back something I didn't know I was still grieving.
Margot Ellison
Rejoined at 38 · Now teaching barre
I came from a hip-hop background and thought classical training would kill my style. Instead it gave me precision I never had. Now my freestyles have architecture.

The Saturday contemporary class changed my relationship to effort. I used to fight the floor. Now I listen to it. Marcus Webb is unlike any teacher I've had.
Yuki Tanaka
Guest artist, Brooklyn Academy of Music
My daughter was accepted to the School of American Ballet after two years here. But more than the acceptance — she learned what it means to work. That's the real gift.
