In 1968, Ms. Heidi Robitshek, with her late husband, Irving Robitshek, founded the studio to bring to the Williamsburg area an educational and cultural program in the art of dance. The Institute for Dance, Inc., of which Chamber Ballet Studios was the educational arm through , was established and incorporated on April 20, 1978.

We have been a Williamsburg landmark for the past 30 years. During that time we have experienced significant growth due to the quality of our dance program as well as the population increase in the Williamsburg area. The Institute for Dance, Inc. now offers instruction in a multitude of dance disciplines including ballet, tap, jazz, musical theater, kickline, and hip hop.

In early 2007, the Williamsburg Ballet Theatre was established, headed by Ms. Kristine Antis, Artistic Director.
