This is one of the top Ballet Schools in Miami. They take care in much more then developing great dancers. They have been developing great dancers with mature character and great leadership abilities. Bravo to the staff and teachers for the work they do.

TAYB offers a wonderful approach to learning. Every child is seen and heard, and given an opportunity to grow. The program goes beyond dance movement, and teaches history, context, and respect.

Wonderful teachers and lovely staff! We felt very welcomed. They took the time to explain how their curriculum works and created a plan for my daughter's goals.

Truly one of Miami's gems. Generations of children have been trained here. Additionally they have a huge outreach into the community at satellite sites where classes are taught for free.

TAYB sees the study of ballet as not only an art form, but as a builder of life skills of discipline, focus and delayed gratification!

The conservatory's loyalties are not to the community at large, but to those with the deepest pockets. Sadly, the instruction is held back because of the schools motto "It takes 10,000 hours to get good at something". I believe that every child has different abilities and does not learn at the same pace. The children that have potential are held back unless they are able to pay for private instruction. Special parts or roles in their annual show are given, by and large, to the highest bidder. Non-Profit entities (as is Thomas Armour), by definition, exist to enrich the lives of those less fortunate. Thomas Armour Youth Ballet has drifted from its mission and now runs the risk of losing its vision to those in charge that believe they are above all reproach.
