About Us

The Ballet Center and Artistic Director Debra Punzi has provided dance education on Long Island  for over 40 years.  Ballet is our main course of study however we have expert teachers  in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop , Musical Theater, Acting and Tap for all ages, young and adult alike.

The Ballet Center is competition-free; that is not to say our students are not competitive, just that we do not promote sports-like competitions that are more lucrative than educational. Rather our dance education is centered around stage performance.

Professional quality dance productions with Ballet Long Island provide students with theater experience and the opportunity to refine their dance technique. In the process they develop technical and social skills needed for collective participation towards a common goal. We feel these skills are more valuable to the community and to the individual. And besides, even though preparing for a major full-length ballet performance is hard work, our students find out that it is a lot of fun - fun that they share with other dancers. Many of our students have gone on to careers in ballet companies, modern companies, film, TV, broadway shows, dance teacher, directors and for other they develop a life long love of dance and theater.
Our focus at The ballet Center is to teach dance technically correct, with efficiency and  injury prevention in mind. Applying what is appropriate physically for young bodies, we work to keep students healthy throughout their dancing life and beyond.
