Mass Ballet Pre-professional and Recreational Dance Training Welcome to Mass Ballet, formerly The Ballet Space, and now the home of Massachusetts Ballet Theatre.

When The Ballet Space opened in March of 2005 it quickly became the place to train for dancers ages 2 through adult. Following The Ballet Space’s motto of “teaching the art and joy of dance” Mass Ballet is continuing to provide the highest quality and standard of ballet with great emphasis on the joys of dance and developing the dancer as a whole being. Whether your goal is to dance professionally

or to simply enjoy the joys of dance with great training, our accomplished faculty and many programs are designed to fit the needs of every student. Our well-respected staff have made it their mission to share their passion and experience with their students. This has created a nurturing, structured and stress-free environment for dancers of all ages and abilities. Each program emphasizes the joys and discipline of this art form, while treating students as individuals. In addition to being a warm and friendly environment for its dancer’s, Mass Ballet is welcoming and easily accessible for the whole family. Our spacious waiting area is a cozy place for parents to relax with a cup of coffee and a magazine, while siblings quietly enjoy our play area. All classes can be viewed from the comfort of our waiting area through live video feeds. We have an ongoing enrollment throughout the year for all ages.

Dear Dancers and Families! It's finally time to share our spring ballet! Your precious dancers will be cast as fruits and vegetables in our production of Cipollina. I’m so excited to sharea little bit about this ballet and how we chose it.

A little over a year ago, I saw a video of a charming dancer in a red tutu performing a solo from a ballet I’d never heard of. She was dancing the role of Radish from a ballet called Cipollino. This Soviet Russian ballet is based on an Italian children’s book and premiered in 1974. The music is by Karen Khachaturian. The book, by Italian author Gianni Rodari, was published in Italy in 1951 and widely translated. While it’s popular in Italy and around the world, it really caught on in the USSR, where there was even an animated TV show version!

The original story is a short chapter book, silly and meandering in a way that adults and kids can enjoy. A new English edition was printed in 2025 (shown in the picture here - we’ll have our own logo for the ballet soon). I was inspired by the book and the 1974 ballet libretto to create our version of the story, which you can read here: https://www.massballet.com/spring-ballet

I’m excited to create a new ballet for our students that tells a story of common people overthrowing an unjust government in order to provide necessities for all. The power of friendship and community are central to the story.

And in case that wasn’t reason enough, the dancing 🍒🍎🍇🍑🍋🍊🍅are going to be adorable!
