From the reviews

We just moved here from Phoenix and hoped to find our new dance “home” similar to what we had in AZ and boy have we been wowed by the teaching staff, community involvement, and studio!

★★★★★ — Anna, Feb 2026

Our daughter shines and has built a huge love for dance all thanks to MPA. Totally worth the 45 minute drive one way.

Your first ballet class at Midwest Performing Arts

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.
