Your Safety
Our first and foremost commitment is to the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, extended families and community. If our current plan needs to change in order to put safety first, then we will do so without hesitation and with full measure.
COVID Health & Safety:
Testing and Proof of Vaccination
Effective 20 September 2021, COVID-19 vaccinations are required for everyone, 12-years of age or above, including students, faculty, pianists and staff, as well as parents, caregivers and visitors planning to enter Ballet Academy East (BAE), and the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College. Parents, Caregivers, and Visitors over age-12: You must show either your Excelsior Pass or vaccine card to the Front Desk Staff each time you come to BAE.
To keep our Dances Patrelle and BAE communities safe, BAE has partnered with HealthCheck for a health check-in process at BAE. Everyone will be required to show that they completed their HealthCheck upon entering BAE.

Masks are Mandatory
Dances Patrelle supports and abides by the health guidelines in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control, the City and State of New York, Ballet Academy East, and at the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College. With the recent CDC recommendations for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people to wear masks indoors, we have updated our COVID Health and Safety protocols, effective 3 August 2021. Masks will be required at all times, including during auditions and in the common areas of BAE.
We sincerely appreciate your support in helping everyone remain healthy and safe!
We are grateful for the two and a half decades we have spent growing and evolving, and for the community, we've built along the way. Here’s to another 25!
50 years of teaching experience equips Francis Patrelle with the vision to inspire, and encourage, aspiring dancers. While many have become professional dancers, others have become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and more. Regardless of their path, Dances Patrelle nurtures and supports the confidence within these young dancers to become the accomplished individuals they are today.
Please help us continue this tradition.
Dear Yorkville Nutcrackers!

“
The Patrelle Yorkville Nutcracker, set in a bygone New York, appeals to the tourist in me: it’s so full of New York and American detail (even Theodore Roosevelt makes an appearance) that I wanted to watch it again to notice more of what it tells of local history.
