From the reviews

Our family enjoys a wonderful continuing experience with the Metropolitan Ballet. For over four years our daughter has loved everything about the program as have we, her parents. The training takes place under the expert direction of Erik Sanborn, Founder and Artistic Director of the Metropolitan Ballet.

★★★★★ — Richard, Jun 2021

My daughter has been attending Metro for 2 years now. The class times and freedom to make up classes anytime you miss has worked great for our schedule. She thoroughly enjoys the experience of working in productions alongside professional dancers and her friends alike. The teachers are kind and helpful.

★★★★★ — Donna, Aug 2016

Romeo and Juliette at the Fitzgerald was a spectacular performance this evening! Professional and emotionally moving!

★★★★★ — Mary, Apr 2026

Our daughter has learned so much at The Metropolitan Ballet. Poise, discipline, love of dance and music, and much more...my wife and I are simply thrilled with the results. We plan to attend for years to come, and we recommend The Met without reservation.

Your first ballet class at Metropolitan 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.
