The programs they offer
“I danced here and now my daughter dances here as well, and Manhattan Ballet School is like a second home to our family.”
From the reviews
I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing memories and excellent experiences I had here as a full-time student for over 10 years, and as a graduate dancer who has continued to be involved in productions as an adult.
The professional teaching of the Manhattan Ballet School has taught me how to become a great dancer as well as a disciplined student. I have also learned how to become a great friend and community member.
I have been at this ballet school for years and it is a great school! It is a supportive environment where my love for dance has grown and where I have met some of my best friends.
After over 10 years at this school, I can confidently say this is an incredibly special community. With its beautiful facilities, warm and inviting teachers, and wonderful dance programs, I highly recommend MBMC for dancers of all ages. Love to support them!
Your first ballet class at Manhattan Ballet and Movement 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.
