A local family guide
One Coral Gables studio. Families from all around it.
Miami Royal Ballet & Dance has taught in Coral Gables for nearly 20 years. Families from the surrounding neighborhoods each face their own version of the same decision: which class, which level, and whether the training is right. This guide walks through those questions the way we would on the phone.
We have one studio, at 300 Altara Ave Ste 1415, Coral Gables, FL 33146. Directions on this page are general only.

Your child takes a real class. You see the studio, the teaching, and how they respond.

Faculty recommend the class that fits, based on what they saw, not age alone.

Who teaches your child
Led by Lourdes Arteaga
Lourdes Arteaga is a former principal dancer with Teatro Colón and Ballet of Santiago de Chile. She directs a studio that has served Coral Gables for nearly 20 years, where classical standards and personal attention are not in competition with each other.
