From the reviews

We've had an excellent experience so far with a teacher (Jennifer Beasley) who was able to really understand our child, his needs, and how to best approach teaching him when he was frustrated/embarrassed about not remembering movements.

★★★★★ — Peyton, Aug 2019

Our daughter danced with Mississippi Metropolitan Dance Academy from age 3 through her senior year in high school. MMDA and Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet offer the best ballet training available in the state of Mississippi.

★★★★★ — Janet, Dec 2017

My daughter has participated in the programs offered by Mississippi Metropolitan since she was 3 years old. She loves being a part of the programs available. She is now a part of the Company and dances each year in the professional productions Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet produces each year.

★★★★★ — Polly, Dec 2017

We couldn't be happier with our experience at MMDA! Our daughter takes the toddler combo ballet and tap class, she also recently attended the Princess Dance Camp, and absolutely loved every minute of it.

Your first ballet class at Mississippi Metropolitan Dance

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.
