“Best nutcracker in New England!”
From the reviews
Great performance. Albano's ballet brings together international professional dancers and highly motivated and dedicated student dancers. The choreography is unique and original. The sequence of the Nutcracker's story keeps you engaged and entertained for the entire show.
Your first ballet class at Albano Ballet & Performing Center
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
