GoogleMy children have participated in UIYB dance classes for several years now. As a former dancer, I chose UIYB from the other dance studios in the area because of their focus on solid fundamentals with an intentional progression and, most importantly, helping the dancers find the joy in movement. My oldest has been attending UIYB for almost a decade and, even after her hardest classes, she still comes out of class with a smile on her face. I know her instructors and the directors care about her as a person as well as a dancer and, as a parent, that is worth more than anything else I could ask.

GoogleWe couldn't be happier with our experience at UIYB. The teachers are wonderful, and the program is focused on developing skills without being high-pressure or too performance-driven. Truly a wonderful community institution.

GoogleThis is my happy place! I started taking adult ballet classes here with Jason and Juliet and fell head over heels for the classes. The loft dancing space and beautiful and inspiring, the people are so kind and welcoming, and the instruction is superb. I couldn't recommend this school more highly for dancers of all ages.

GoogleWe discovered the University of Iowa Youth Ballet and Community Dance school when our daughter was three. She began taking Creative Movement classes and fell in love with the art of dance. This fall she will start her 7th year of ballet with UIYB. She thrives under the instruction of her teachers, lives for spring performance & has developed beautiful friendships through the seasons. No matter where life takes our daughter we know the foundations of ballet, the confidence to express herself & the love she feels from her UIYB family will always be with her 🩰❤️
