From the reviews
My daughter began ballet class with Children's Ballet Theater as a first grader. She is now in high school and continues to dance with Children's Ballet Theater! We've watched her grown into a confident, strong, disciplined young woman.
My daughter began taking ballet at age 3 from Children's Ballet. 12 yrs later, she is performing on stage with the theater. Mary and her staff are a step above the rest in Memphis. I recommend ALL my friends to her studio. Small groups and caring, individual attention are their focus.
My daughter loves CBT. She began dance at an early age with Mary and we have never been disappointed! Mary has such a wonderful way of teaching ballet and her love of dance is shown through how well trained and wonderful her dancers are. Her instructors share her love of dance and they are also wonderful with the kids.
Online and Zoom classes have been so helpful during these past few weeks! Children's Ballet Theater teachers quickly and creatively found ways to keep dancers in shape, connected, and performance ready.
Your first ballet class at Children's Ballet Theater
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.
