Michigan Ballet Academy Empowering the Next Generation of Artists through holistic ballet training, a codified curriculum, and a safe environment of encouragement and challenge.

The Michigan Ballet Academy (MBA) is a not-for-profit arts organization offering the highest quality classical ballet training using the Vaganova training method. Vaganova is acknowledged around the world as the foremost training program for classical ballet. MBA is striving to make and currently consists of 3 main divisions: Children's Movement, Adult Movement, and our Pre-Professional Program. The focus of the Children's Movement classes is to introduce children to a classroom environment while building body awareness, musicality, flexibility, and coordination. Children between the ages of 2-5 can expect to make friends and gain a lifelong love of movement! Our Pre-Professional Program is aimed to further Children's dance education into high school, resulting in strong, confident dancers ready to step into college, a professional company setting, or just the world at large. Lastly, our Adult Movement Classes offer adults a new opportunity to rekindle an old love, find joy in movement, or just take an awesome workout class. More information about our classes can be found at michiganballet.org

More Training. Same Home Studio. 🩰

Are you a dedicated ballet student looking for more training—but not ready to leave your current studio?

Michigan Ballet Academy is excited to introduce the Supplemental Training Program (STP).

STP is designed for serious ballet students in Intermediate - Advanced levels who want additional focused ballet training while continuing their education at their current home studio.

Students receive:

• Level-appropriate pre-professional ballet training
• Individualized artistic placement
• Consistent weekly enrollment
• Access to additional ballet classes
• A reduced tuition rate of $11/hour compared with the standard $16 drop-in rate

You don't have to choose between your home studio and additional training.

Train more. Stay rooted. Grow further.

Evaluations are required for placement.

Learn more about STP and sign up for your FREE evaluation today by emailing [email protected]
