“MBT productions are also on the same level of other professional ballets nationwide.”
From the reviews
Manassas Ballet Theatre is surprisingly good, with talented dancers and exquisite costumes. The quality is way beyond what you would expect from a local group - I have seen ballet at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and I enjoyed Manassas Ballet Theatre just as much.
Very impressed with the quality of the dancers, costumes, choreography, backed up by a high caliber orchestra. Manassas Ballet Theatre presented "Colin" and we are still under the spell. Treat yourself to an evening at the Hylton for a ballet performance. You won't regret it!
Unique and fantastic part of the Manassas community in both its theater and academy. I appreciate its inclusion of adult amateur dancers who love ballet and dance just as much as the younger students. I have noticed extreme improvement in my technique in just one year. Hannah and Amy are fantastic teachers.
Though I have occasionally attended ballets over the years, I never thought I was a fan--until I found the Manassas Ballet. Now I'm a devoted season ticket member, and have been for five years. There's the exceptional live music featuring both classical and original compositions.
Your first ballet class at Manassas Ballet Theatre
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.
