From the reviews

My 12 yr old daughter just moved from another studio to take classes here. She loves it and is feeling like it is the most professional school she has been in. As a parent, I appreciate the professionalism in the organization. Tuition is very affordable compared to other schools.

★★★★★ — Richard, Mar 2013

Went to see the Nutcracker yesterday. Wonderful show. Aside from the Sugar Plum Fairy she really looked like she was struggling. Ballerinas are supposed to be light and make it look effortless and she really made it look like work.

Your first ballet class at Maine State Ballet

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.
