In Grandma’s Attic dance program offers an alternative, creative approach for children ages 2-17. Progressive, quality ballet training is woven into fantasy, fairy tales, the great ballet classical stories, and original stories too. The world of ballet comes alive with dance, dress-up, drama, improvisation, mime, & make-believe! Kids will have heaps of fun! Creative story dancing and movement improvisation are part of all classes and age groups. Older age groups continue to receive quality progressive training while they also explore ballet storytelling, abstract expression, as well as choreography.

Classical Heroes of the Ballet, a highly unique all-boys program consisting of 3 training levels, offers young dancers the opportunity for their imaginations to collide with the physical prowess of the male dancer. More about “Classical Heroes of the Ballet” can be found HERE.

In Grandma’s Attic dance program is created by Deborah Bailay (formerly with Washington School of the Ballet under Director Mary Day). A master ballet teacher, Miss Bailay thoroughly enjoys her role as “creative maverick” in the field of creative ballet for today’s youth!

Miss Bailay creates captivating miniature story ballets, “The Ballets”, for all her students which draw upon the joys and interests of youth! Every opportunity provides a student with significant experience as the ballets are lengthy and involve role development. The story ballets are presented to parents and family in informal studio showings to minimize pressure of performance and remain in the creative process. The rehearsal period is brief with only a minimal commitment from families. These intimate, high-quality showings are beautifully presented in costumes (provided), with props, and sometimes scenery. We always provide custom-printed programs with cast list, story synopsis, and an autographs page! More about “The Ballets” can be found HERE.

“In Grandma’s Attic is an essential part of growing up in NYC!” ~ Nicki, mom of Sydney who danced 9 consecutive years with In Grandma’s Attic
