Meridian Ballet allowed me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of studying classical ballet. I will forever be indebted to Ms. Justine for giving me the chance to train in a way that was previously unavailable to me. I was able to receive instruction from professional dancers and perform in full length ballets.

★★★★★ — Carrie, Dec 2024

Just went to see the Nutcracker in Meridian and it was our first ballet experience! We will be back for Aladdin in the Spring! Very professional! Great costumes! The Dancers and the music were amazing!

★★★★★ — Allison, Dec 2024

Love the full ballet productions - such high quality, and love the involvement of students of all ages. What a gem for the Meridian community! I also love Justine’s Monday adult Barre class from 1-2!

Your first ballet class at Meridian 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.
