From the reviews

Mrs Amy is great. The live pianist is also fantastic. Our daughter loves the hand in hand program. Thank you for a very memorable experience!

★★★★★ — Lucas, Jul 2023

This is a good ballet school, though a little pricey. The students put on a show with some of their professionals every 'semester', normally at Patriots Theater in Trenton. They also do several professional shows a year, including the Nutcracker.

★★★★☆ — Walt, Dec 2015

Love this place!! Great for the youth really wanting to be in a professional setting for traditional ballet training. Also for leisure adult classes!

★★★★☆ — Stacey, May 2016

Your first ballet class at Princeton Ballet School | American Repertory 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.

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.
