Campers participate in fun dance classes in a variety of styles, make and design artwork and crafts, and perform at the end-of-week demonstration for their families! The summertime is an exciting opportunity for advanced students to develop their skills in the Summer Ballet Intensives and for new or younger students, potentially with no prior experience, to experience all varieties of dance. MBT offers something for everyone at every “turn”.

As soon as you walk into Metropolitan Ballet Theatre & Academy, you can tell the students love dancing there. Dancers putting on their pointe shoes are excitedly talking about learning a new, challenging skill while Mini Hip Hop students review steps to their choreography. Part of MBT’s mission as a non-profit organization is to provide a nurturing environment to all who are interested, regardless of technical ability, age, body type, previous experience, future aspirations, or financial means.

MBT offers three half-day camps from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., for all experience levels. Once Upon a Ballet Camp and Mini Hip Hop Dance Camp are for ages 4-6, while Storytime Dance Camp is for ages 3-5. Each day, students take a dance class, learn choreography, read a story or a ballet libretto, make a craft, and play dance games emphasizing creative expression. A dance performance/demonstration occurs on the last day of each camp week.

MBT also offers three full-day camps, running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., that cater to all levels. The Dance, Arts, & Crafts Camp (ages 6-10), Dance Performance Camp (ages 7-11), and Broadway Musical Dance Camp (ages 7-11) are perfect for older students who want to explore a variety of dance styles. Each day, students immerse themselves in at least two styles of dance, including ballet, jazz, modern, and hip hop. In addition to dance, campers get to unleash their creativity through crafts and learn choreography for their end-of-week demonstration, a showcase of their newfound skills.
For experienced dancers, MBT offers the Junior Ballet Intensive for ages 7-12 and the Summer Ballet Intensive for ages 11+. These programs provide an incredible opportunity for rapid growth, with classes taught by guest artists and the chance to learn new styles of dance. It's a chance for your child to push their boundaries and reach new heights in their dance journey. For 35 years, Metropolitan Ballet Theatre & Academy has taught dancers from ages 3 to adult. MBT looks forward to meeting new campers this summer and helping cultivate a love of dance in future generations.
