My daughter has been at Eglevsky for two years now and moving to Eglevsky was the best decision we could have made. The instructors are all knowledgeable and caring. They know how to make the child feel good even when critiquing them. They treat all students the same and do not have favorites. All the dancers support one another and I believe that is because of the atmosphere that they are learning in. I could also always tell when the director Mr Curry has taught my daughters class because she comes out all smiles. As a teacher and retired coach myself I give Eglevsky my highest recommendation

If you are looking for a NYC caliber ballet studio outside of the city, look no further. Eglevsky Ballet studios have a lofty, spacious quality that is hard to come by and a faculty that is top notch. The studio is of the highest quality in education, professionalism and moral values you can find. The teachers are well-versed in educating children (which can be an art form on its own) and many of them are plucked weekly directly from the city. The Artistic Director not only makes the studio his first priority, but is skilled at picking a guest faculty that has a direct finger on the pulse of what

My daughter has been studying ballet at Eglevsky ballet for the past three years. In that time my wife and I have been continually impressed with the high caliber of instruction she is receiving at Eglevsky. The teachers are truly professionals with years of experience who love what they do. They are not only knowledgeable and accomplished, but also kind, supportive and caring. Mr. Curry, the artistic director, and all of the staff are always professional and courteous. The productions, including the annual Nutcracker at the Tilles center, are always artistic, innovative and beautiful. There are

My daughters have been studying at Eglevsky Ballet for a little over a year now and they absolutely love it. The director and staff are wonderful . Their technique has improved tremendously in such a short period. I am impressed how professional and well ran the facility is. It is certainly Long Island’s premiere ballet academy . We are very blessed to have it. Our family looks forward to many years of dance at Eglevsky!

Eglevsky ballet is without a doubt the best ballet school on long island. The facility is beautiful and the dance studios are very spacious. The faculty is top notch. I have not seen a school with the same caliber teachers that truly want the best for each student. The productions that are presented such as the Nutcracker each year show the highest level of ballet from both the students to the guest artists from New York City Ballet. Eglevsky Ballet is different from other schools because every single person there values who you become not only as a dancer but as a person too. I would recommend

Excellent school with really high standards, and articulate, informative, and caring teachers. Mr Curry and his staff provide a profesional and friendly atmosphere, and the beautiful productions, workshops, master classes with principal dancers make Eglevsky Ballet the best school on Long Island. My daughter has been going there for a year, and she improved tremendously. I would recommend Eglevsky to anyone serious about improving their ballet technique. Eglevsky can help you grow not only as a dancer, but also as a person.

We are so proud that our son studies dance at Eglevsky ballet. He has grown so much and really appreciates having male teachers and dancers to learn from and look up to. It's been a very rewarding experience for him and he looks forward to his future in dance with Eglevsky.
As a parent, I am very pleased with the positive atmosphere of the school. All members of the faculty are warm, welcoming and foster such a supportive and positive environment. If your child is serious about having a career in dance, Eglevsky is the place to be!

Truly a Hidden Gem! I am so glad I discovered this Ballet Academy. Both of my daughter's absolutely LOVE dancing here, and don't want to miss a single class. Their technique has improved by leaps and bounds. Being able to audition and perform in Eglevsky Ballet's The Nutcracker, performed at The Tilles Center, is only one of the highlights of the year. I also like that they hold open auditions for The Nutcracker for all the kids on Long Island. It's gotten so many rave reviews I've seen kids from all 5 boroughs audition. Their year round program as well as their summer

Best ballet school on Long Island! My daughter has attended Eglevsky for 2 years. During that time, her ballet technique and overall dancing has dramatically improved. She can't wait to get to ballet class! It's a fabulous school, with great and caring teachers. My son has just started taking ballet there and he also loves it!

I have two daughters who have attended Eglevsky for the past 3 years. Having trained at other local ballet schools prior to Eglevsky, there is no comparison. I have watched my daughters technique improve 1000% . The training, teachers , facilities rival anything you would find in the city. Long Island is lucky to have a professional ballet school right here on the island!
