From the reviews
An ABSOLUTELY LOVELY Albq. New Mexico classical ballet school. Wonderful teachers over the summer intensive. Perfectly organized and planned. My daughter learned so much from the modern, technically competent, communicative teachers. Everyone should try their summer intensives if you can be accepted via audition!
The New Mexico Ballet Company's rendition of "The Nutcracker" was a captivating experience. The choreography, a vital element of any ballet, has been executed with grace and precision, showcasing the dancers' impressive skills.
We have had the most amazing experience with NMBC! My daughter started classes there a few years ago and the instructors are amazing. It has done wonders for her confidence.
I shopped ballet schools for my daughter. I was looking for a high level of rigor with a schedule that was appropriate for a highly academic high school student who can’t devote a professional level of time to dance classes, but still wants the level of rigor that would promote growth. She absolutely loves NMBC.
Your first ballet class at New Mexico Ballet Company
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.
