Testimonials from Parents and students - The Young Dancer & Odyssey of the Ballet Fairies Classes Our six-year-old daughter...has studied with Miss Bailay for the past four years. During that time, we have come to know and love this extraordinarily brilliant and talented teacher...Miss Bailay is a lover of her craft and young children...she has a wonderful creative streak. For the very young, it’s pure fun with age-appropriate ballet vignettes and costumes. What she does with her older students is to instill a sense of celebration and reverence for the art of ballet through example and dedication...She is firm, but loving. She corrects with positive reinforcement. She is always enthusiastic, always patient...Miss Bailay is a superb role model, not only as a dancer, but also as a person. Mary and Basil In Grandma’s Attic is that wonderful balance that you can rarely find in New York: a committed, creative ballet program that incorporates the interests and joys of young children. My daughter has grown to understand the fundamentals of ballet while maturing as a choreographer and member of an artistic ensemble—all while having heaps of fun! Vanessa It’s been truly wonderful watching my daughter grow up under Miss Bailay’s wing. As a three-year-old, my daughter loved dressing up in costumes and acting out each new chapter of the ballet stories and fairy tales Miss Bailay would read to the class every week. Now as an eight-year-old, she’s learning choreography Miss Bailay creates for the girls as they develop stories together. Five years ago, I watched as Miss Bailay would gently invite each child into the group to dance. Now the girls in my daughter’s class have deep bonds of friendship with each other and with their teacher and are learning the importance of working together as a group. If you’re looking for someone who can raise girls, nurture self-confidence and offer a solid foundation within the structure of an ongoing ballet program, Miss Bailay has more than 25 years of teaching experience cultivating the sheer joy and deep love of ballet in girls like my daughter.
