Build technique
Have you ever wished you could master the moves you’ve seen dancers perform on stage? Enrolling in lessons will help boost your skills.
As a parent of two daughters who have attended Central Texas Youth Ballet (CTYB) for several years, I can confidently say this studio has been instrumental in their development as dancers. The personalized instruction, small class sizes, and supportive environment have nurtured their skills and confidence. The focus on technique and self-discipline over competition has fostered a true love for dance in both of them. CTYB’s dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere makes it a standout choice for any aspiring dancer.
CTYB has been the best experience for my daughters. I am so grateful for the community it provides and the professionalism they have at the studio.
My daughter has been taking ballet from CTYB since she was 3 years old (now almost 10). We have loved every moment of it. My daughter has great confidence which I attribute to her years in ballet. She loves being a part of the annual Nutcracker performance and Spring show. Rena and all the other teachers are so talented and very kind and patient. They genuinely care about their students. We highly recommend CTYB.
I highly recommend this studio to anyone in the area that is looking for dance classes for their child! My daughter has been attending CTYB since January of this year (2025) in the Discover Dance class and she absolutely loves it. I had learned about this studio from a neighbor whose child was also attending. There is another studio closer to where I live, but the class availability with CTYB was a better fit for our family’s schedule. I reached out via the online form and immediately received a response from Ms. Rena to have my daughter try out a free session. All of my communications with Ms. Rena have been informative, with clear guidance and answers to any questions. My daughter loves dance—when asked recently to pick between some of her extracurriculars because the schedule was getting too packed, she was very clear that she wanted to continue dance. I believe a large part of why my daughter has come to love dance is due to Ms. Rena’s care and instruction. Our family has had a wonderful experience with CTYB thus far and would highly recommend anyone interested to sign up for a free trial!
My daughter is in the ballet class with Ms Reena and what a wonderful class it is! Ms. Rena is fabulous with the little children, and my daughter is always pleased to attend. I would strongly recommend this ballet studio to anyone with small kids interested in dance!
Rena was so patient with our 2 year old getting into classes. We had such a wonderful season here watching her confidence and independence grow.
The end of season recital was amazing with great quality customs and fun dances.
We are signing up for summer camps and will continue next season.
Highly recommend!
I highly recommend this dance studio! This is why…
In spring 2025 my daughter at 15months of age caught a rare fast acting Group Strep A virus which led to sepsis within 48hrs and a 50+ day stay at Dell Children’s hospital where they no doubt saved her life. During the peak of her illness she incurred nerve damage in her left leg that caused her to lose mobility of her left foot despite her miraculous recovery. There has been no promise her foot function would return, only the hope that due to her nueroplasticity she might regain “some” function. After 6months of weekly physical therapy we were encouraged to sign her up for ballet classes for intentional movement and play.
Rena from Central Texas Youth Ballet welcomed my daughter with open arms and had a deep understanding of how the physical mechanics of ballet could aid in her recovery. IT HAS DONE JUST THAT. My daughter can now move her toes, jump and so much more than we had ever thought possible. Today was her first class back since summer break. She was smiling, laughing and even dancing. Words can’t adequately express the joy and hope I felt today, when I was watching her and took this picture. Given her progress her physical therapist at Dell Children’s has suggested that as long as we continue these activities with our daughter, we would only need quarterly to 6 month check ins with her to monitor her progress. Thank you for bringing my daughter and our family Hope and Joy CTYB!
My daughter had been going to another dance studio in the local area, and she had expressed her desire to get on pointe. I knew that the current studio she was at was not the right fit for what is required for a ballerina on pointe. I looked around and I found Central Texas Youth Ballet and fell in love with the philosophy of training to skill, not to grade. Rena is amazing and she takes the time to truly teach what it means to practice ballet. It’s not about offer a wide variety of dance styles and a huge schedule offering to get tons and tons of students in–CTYB-is about preparing the student with discipline, patience and sacrifice to be a well trained ballerina. They put on the most breath taking “Nutcracker” too.

I have two children enrolled and I’m so happy to see them learning the art of ballet safely! I love the focus on learning ballet correctly rather than doing recitals. I’ve noticed a positive difference in their posture outside of class as well.

We love the classes at CTY. Our 5yo has grown so much as a dancer under Ms Rena’s guidance. She loves that she’s taking a “real” ballet class and we love the structure and discipline of the classical ballet instruction. The classes are a great value too. We get two classes per week for the same price we were paying our last studio for one class a week. The end-of-semester shows are so nice too. In December, the students worked collaboratively to dance part of the Nutcracker. It was so fun to see the dancers act in a show rather than just review a few moves in a recital.
