From the reviews
Absolutely the best, bar none! I can not wait to see the Nutcracker production they put on this year at the Scottish Rite downtown. I have been a long time fan of Artistic Director Jill Landrith's work and am delighted she is back at the helm of a studio!
I am so excited for the Nutcracker this year! Thank you Metropolitan Ballet for bringing this to so many surrounding studios! I can’t wait to see what you all accomplish!

I was able to attend their Nutcracker last year and I'm definitely going again this year. The dancers were awesome and the place they held it in was awesome too. I got to talk to a couple of the dancers and they had great things to say about Metropolitan Ballet and from what all I saw they're right. Five Stars!
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.
