From the reviews
My daughter attended a 6 week intensive during the 2018 summer at the Nutmeg Conservatory. Not only was I pleased with the professionalism of the staff, but their attention to detail, structure, and care for the students surpassed all of my expectations.
The Nutmeg is about tradition, the tradition of ballet in the Vaganova style, which creates an atmosphere of enjoyment but dedicated to learning . The Nutmeg does not cater to parents but the students, with the focus on them to make them to best they can be.
Our daughter has been going to their summer intensive program for several years and loves it! Great instructors and a very professional and beautiful environment to train in!
Attended an audition/tour for the summer program for my daughter. Gorgeous studios, warm reception by faculty and current parents, caring residential environment, and knowledgeable professional dance faculty of course.
Your first ballet class at Nutmeg Conservatory
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.
