What Our Families Say

The best ballet and dance school in Miami. My daughter has not only learned how to dance there, but she has also developed discipline and responsibility. It’s a place where she has grown both as a dancer and as a person, and where she has built friendships that I’m sure will last a lifetime. 100% recommended! Extra plus: great location.

Miami Royal Ballet – Donde el corazón de mi hija aprendió a volar!!! Hablar de Miami Royal Ballet es hablar de un lugar que ha transformado la vida de mi hija de una manera que jamás imaginé. Cada vez que la veo entrar al estudio con ilusión en los ojos y salir con el alma llena, entiendo que aquí encontró mucho más que danza: encontró un hogar, una familia, y una pasión que la acompañará para siempre. Verla formar parte del company es uno de los mayores orgullos que he sentido como madre. Es un honor inmenso verla crecer rodeada de compañeras talentosas y maestras que la inspiran a ser mejor cada día. Cada ensayo y cada presentación la acercan más a su mejor versión, no solo como bailarina, sino como ser humano. Quiero expresar una gratitud infinita a Mrs. Lourdes y Ms. Maia, dos mujeres maravillosas cuya dedicación y amor por la enseñanza dejan huella en cada niña que toca el escenario. Ellas no solo enseñan técnica; enseñan valores, disciplina, resiliencia y la magia de creer en uno mismo. Han sido guías, inspiración y luz para mi hija, y por eso siempre estaré agradecida. Miami Royal Ballet es un lugar donde los sueños se nutren, donde la disciplina se convierte en arte, y donde las niñas descubren la fuerza que tienen dentro. Gracias por abrirle las puertas del corazón a mi hija, por darle alas y por acompañarla a volar tan alto. Gracias por tanto, de todo corazón.

My daughter started Early Ballet at three and a half with no experience whatsoever. She was shy at first, but the teachers made her feel so welcome. After just a few weeks she was excited to go every class.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can ballet and dance support a child's physical and mental development?
When practiced consistently and attentively, age-appropriate ballet and dance can support physical conditioning, coordination, posture, strength, musicality, body awareness, and healthy movement habits. Focused muscular engagement and careful repetition also give children opportunities to develop concentration, responsibility, discipline, resilience, patience, and follow-through. As training progresses and becomes more demanding, meaningful improvement generally requires focused, consistent work. Progress varies by student and depends on factors such as attendance, readiness, effort, instruction, and wellbeing; no specific outcome is guaranteed.
