From the reviews
The program was the every other year choreography competition and was at the small Baumgartner Center and not at the PAC. We have been season ticket holders for over 20 years. The choreography and the dancers performance was amongst the best ever for the years we have attended the competition.
Let me paint you a picture—imagine an evening where every pirouette tells a story and every note from the orchestra resonates with your soul. That was our unforgettable experience at the Milwaukee Ballet's recent rendition of Dracula. As a parent, it's a proud moment when you see your son on stage.
The Milwaukee ballet is a prestigious institution of classical dance and has been a staple for our public year around since the 1970s. They have an artistic director who brings an incredibly detailed understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. With the finest facility in dance, I’ve ever seen to date.
My daughter who was born with Spina Bifida takes an adaptive Ballet class. She loves and adores everyone who teaches the class as well the friends she made in the past few years. 5⭐ all the way . Thank you Milwaukee Ballet for thinking about the ones who may not be able to walk ... or that aren't verbal.
Your first ballet class at Milwaukee 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.
