From the reviews

Miami city ballet in Miami Beach is a gift. This small city is lucky to have a center dedicated to the arts. Seeing as how the beach is mostly populated with hotels restaurants and apt buildings. The parking in the area isn’t easy but neither is ballet.

★★★★★ — Jeile, Jul 2018

As one of the top three companies in the country, Miami City Ballet is a splendor beyond words and a must see for everyone. Amazing dancers... great people... the best artistic team and teachers anywhere. True poets of gesture.

★★★★★ — Sanford, Mar 2020

I do not typically write reviews, but I feel obliged. My family attended the Nutcracker at The Kravis Center in Palm Beach on Dec. 30, 2023 and I have to say it was the BEST performance of the Nutcracker I have ever seen.

Your first ballet class at Miami City 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.
