“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 do we know which class is the right fit?
Submit the inquiry form with the dancer's age, experience, interests, and availability. Our team will review it and recommend the most appropriate available trial class and placement path.
Can complete beginners join?
Yes. Miami Royal Ballet serves first-time dancers as well as experienced and advanced students. Placement helps us guide each dancer to the right starting point.
Does submitting the form reserve a class?
No. The form begins the placement conversation. A studio team member will contact you with the most appropriate available option and next steps.
What should the dancer wear to a trial class?
Wear tights if available; otherwise, shorts and a comfortable shirt work well. Ballet slippers or ballet shoes are preferred, but socks work if you do not have them yet. The required uniform is sold at the studio after enrollment.
Where can we park?
There is usually plenty of street parking. Merrick Park offers a 15-minute child drop-off and pick-up window; normal parking rules and fees apply beyond that window.
How does enrollment work after a trial class?
After the trial, our faculty confirms the recommended placement and the studio team reviews current availability with your family. When the dancer is ready to enroll for the full season, you can complete registration for the approved class. Placement and space are confirmed directly by the studio.
Do students have opportunities to perform?
Yes. Miami Royal Ballet presents recitals, performances, competitions, community appearances, and special events throughout the year. Opportunities vary by program, age, placement, and readiness, and our faculty will explain the experiences available to each dancer.
What schedule and commitment should families expect?
Schedules and recommended weekly commitment vary by program, age, level, goals, and placement. Consistent attendance supports progress. After a trial and faculty recommendation, our team will explain the current schedule, availability, season commitment, and registration steps before your family enrolls.
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.
What if my child is not absolutely loving every class?
Ballet is a discipline and a growth process, so not every class will feel easy or immediately fun. It is normal for dancers to move through challenging periods as coordination, expectations, and confidence develop. Consistent attendance and age-appropriate follow-through can help children build resilience, responsibility, confidence, and the ability to persist, but every child and family is different. Parents ultimately decide which commitments are right for their child while considering the dancer's feelings, wellbeing, and circumstances. MRB faculty give respectful, thoughtful feedback with each student's best interests in mind and welcome conversations with families about concerns, progress, and the most constructive path forward. Our goal is to help each dancer grow without suggesting that one path is right for everyone or that a child's wellbeing should be dismissed.
