From the reviews
I have seen some of the finest performances in ballet and opera here. These are tomorrow's stars. Clearly, the BEST!
Such a cool building with awesome architecture. Great performances throughout the year
The newest version of the nutcracker was outstanding! The change from an uncle to an aunt brought a lovely new feminine touch. Also having Clara dance, breathtaking! The costumes were also gorgeous ♥️
Your first ballet class at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music Opera and 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.
Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
