Wonderful program for students looking to perfect their ballet skills. Not simply a dance class but a fine tuning & careful study of the ballet discipline.

Wisconsin should be proud of this lovely gem of a ballet company.
Wonderful group for the last 10+ years... but only when they make classical ballet in classical choreography! Annia Hidalgo is just stunning Prima!!!!
The new space is an amazing environment to foster the growth of aspiring dancers.
Wonderful instruction. The grace and dignity she displays is contagious. I will miss the cream city brick when they move to the new studio.
The school is only interested in taking in as many students as possible and making as money as possible. No one there cares about placement or the students. this was a very bad experience for daughter. She Should have gone to ABT TX instead. She was board, not challenged and asked to be taken out so she could dance where she could be challenged.
Krikaoli recommends it! It is a must-go place! Every tourist and native inhabitant should have this great experience. The building is very modern, with substantial, large spaces, comfortable and clean. The staff is very gentle and professional. I went here to see the Nutcracker and it was a remarkable show.
Absolutely terrible school. I did the summer intensive a few years ago and all anybody wants there is money. I was treated with such disrespect that it was disgusting. I had only done the 3 week program, and made a few good friends. The teachers barely taught anything, and none of the teachers paid attention to me in class. When I had a question regarding a combination, the teachers would either roll their eyes or tell me off. Please don't go here, go somewhere else if you want good training with good staff.
Great people, great artists. Proud to have such an accomplished ballet company in MKE
Beautiful new building with lots of studios and lovely amenities
Very clean and welcoming environment. I have been taking the Saturday adult class for a couple weeks now and it has been very informative after being away from ballet for a few years.
Took a tour of this building and it s rooms for dancing seems like a nice set up an upgrade from their old building.
Beautiful new studio. If you're serious about learning dance, this is the school, and their performances are exquisite.
This is an amazing ballet school. It teaches so much, including technique and different styles of dance.
Very welcoming and helpful. Really see the space where they work. Can't wait to see new building. Beyond expectations.
Great facility where I got a chance to see an extraordinary rehearsal by Ballet II
GENESIS 2019 was superb. An performance that you should experience.
I would give less if it were possible - Our Daughter was invited to attend the summer with the possibility of moving forward with the company. Signed her up in March/April - a few weeks later an injury was determined (Originally the hope was it was a fixable injury) by Specialist which has ended her 16 1/2 year dance career. We immediately contacted the company understanding there would be a loss for registration fee, but to not refund $600 + is beyond wrong. There is always exceptional circumstances, and yes people sometimes lie, but we offered to provide doctor documentation, and to be frank I would much rather spend the money and my daughter still have a chance to pursue her dreams. Shame on them, apparently the money means more to them than people or the art.
Thank you for making a horrible situation worse.
When I was there it was great except for wen a teacher told me I can t call my mom on my phone.And that teacher was just standing there waiting till I hung up with my mom and it was a make-up class
I attend ballet all over the region; Chicago, Madison, Rockford. I think Milwaukee Ballet has a program that rivals, and exceeds, the others in the region. I enjoy Milwaukee even more than Joffrey in Chicago.
Fun with dance! Now a ballet school to be proud of!
I go to classes every week to this amazing morden building
They are doing an amazing job with the community and people with disabilities. Absolutely love this program.
