About MANHATTAN YOUTH BALLET
MYB Executive Artistic Director, Rose Caiola, first opened Studio Maestro in 1995 at the 68th St. location on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Ms. Caiola's dream was to create a pre-professional ballet school for students, ages 7 through 18, with a team of instructors with varying dance backgrounds. The first teacher for the pre-professional division of the school was current MYB Head Faculty, Deborah Wingert.
As time progressed, Ms. Caiola was able to bring on more faculty members including the current Head of Classical Repertoire, Marina Stavitskaya. She also brought in esteemed guest teachers including Violette Verdy, Judith Fugate, Christina Fagundes, and Leslie Browne. As the school grew, the need for a larger space became apparent. The search began for an ideal location to house the growing school, which was renamed Manhattan Youth Ballet in 2005.
