“I can't imagine a better studio in Michigan for the serious dancer.  Of course, the recreational dancer will have a wonderful learning experience, also.  While the Rayevskiys’ attention to detail is amazing, their corrections are always made in a completely positive manner.  My daughter has been a student of the Rayevskiys for two years. I have never seen a child come out of class that didn't feel as if they had accomplished something wonderful.There is such a feeling of well- being around the studio. The Rayevskiys have always impressed me with their desire to give their students the best possible training.” - a student's parent

"My daughter has found the  ARCB to be the best classical ballet training in the Midwest. I can still recall  her excitement after her first class with Rayevskiy at age 10. She came to me afterwards and said "I love ballet the way he teaches it".  She was immediately inspired by the beauty and artistry of his movements as he  demonstrated at the barre and center.  From that first day she would follow Rayevskiy to take his classes as he taught at other schools, until he and his wife opened the ARCB in 2004. As her teachers and mentors they have encouraged her to become the best dancer she can be and have used their many contacts in the ballet world to seek out additional opportunities for her.  As a direct result  she has been able to study at the Kirov Academy of Ballet for 4 years, and is now at the Vaganova Academy of Ballet, St Petersburg, Russia". - A student's parent
