Learn More About MAB

The Massachusetts Academy of Ballet classes emphasize classical ballet technique, musicality, artistry, and creativity. Students receive individual attention and discover that the joy of studying classical ballet is learning how to accept a challenge, take a risk, achieve a personal goal, and improve from day to day.

Children may begin study at the age of 3 in the TOTS, creative movement, and pre-ballet classes. These classes serve as an introduction to ballet. Regular ballet classes begin for children at the age of 8 and are also offered for teens and adults. Advanced ballet students take daily lessons and also may perform in the Massachusetts Academy of Ballet performance group.

The Massachusetts Academy of Ballet studios are modern, spacious, and equipped with sprung floors.

Testimonials

“MAB has given each of them a certain mental toughness and tenacity that will serve them well in their lives no matter what path they choose. I am so grateful to you both. The positive difference you are making in the lives of so many young people that walk through the doors of MAB is your legacy. It is about so much more than ballet.”

“I’m very glad to find in America a school that is so similar to Russian Ballet. Thank you for preserving the classical dance tradition.”

Alla Osipenko, Ballerina

“Thank you for the wonderful experience that we are having at your school … she loves her class and teacher and I like that your school isn't focused on body image, but rather on the fun of the dance itself.”
