Legacy Ballet

We love Legacy, tumbling, tap, ballet, hip-hop, they have so many great instructors.

After trying two other dance locations, I signed my daughter up at Legacy Ballet back in 2010. It quickly became her home away from home. Her first love will always be ballet, but she's branched out into modern, jazz, and competition dancing. She'd probably take every style Legacy offers, if only we'd let her. (I even tried out the adult tap class!) The teachers are true professionals, caring deeply for their students. I'd heard horror stories of dance teachers that push too hard, yell at students, or encourage unhealthy eating habits, but that's never happened at Legacy. Dancers of all skills and sizes are welcomed and encouraged, and the costumes/dances are always age-appropriate. The studio is bright, clean, and welcoming. There's a nice area for parents to sit and watch. We look forward to the fun recitals, performances at various local events, and the annual Nutcracker with LBCC. We feel fortunate to have our daughter training at a studio of this class without having to travel to a major city. Legacy Ballet is one of the best things about living in Albany.

I have been taking my daughters to Legacy Ballet for the last 6 years. We started with a Mom and Tot's ballet class once a week and now we are there four times a week. I consider this studio a second home, as do my girls. Under the amazing teaching of Heather Hill, I have watched my daughters learn, develop and hone their skills as dancers. To see the smile in their eyes when they get that leap just right or to watch Heather counsel one of them when they are having a hard time with a certain move, is quite something. Heather teaches with pure positivity, and cares for her dancer and this studio with all that she is. I am so grateful that I have a place like this to bring my girls!
