"Covenant's care reaches beyond dance... They go above and beyond what would be typically expected.  Words cannot express the gratitude and affection I feel for Marla and her staff.. The lessons and skills Hayley has learned will be carried with her not only through school and dance but through life."

- Cara Raptis, academy parent

 

ABOUT CBTB

CBTB Academy, formerly known as Covenant Dance Studio has been training dancers since 1987. Whether it’s serving as a training “bridge” into the City’s prestigious dance schools or providing Brooklynites with an excellent alternative to traveling into the City for their training, CBTB's student programs provide excellent, professional classical ballet and modern dance instruction.

Many of the school’s students have entered performing arts Jr. High & High Schools and have continued to study at Julliard, American Ballet Theatre School, School of American Ballet, Ailey School’s Certificate and Fellowship programs, Joffrey Ballet School, and SUNY Purchase, and perform professionally in the US and Europe.
