MBTPrep students are taught the fundamentals of ballet in a serious, yet
nurturing environment. Syllabus includes ballet, movement, ballet terminology, and the basics of ballet
culture. Auditions are not required to be in Prep classes or to be included in the end-of-year
performance.
MBT’s Trainee program is for experienced and focused ballet dancers ages 6-8.
Dancers are invited into the trainee program after being observed and evaluated during a ballet class.
Trainees perform at least three times during each school year and serve as role models to MBT’s MetPrep
dancers. Successful trainees graduate into MBT’s prestigious PrePro Division.
MBT’s Pre-Professional program focuses on the increased individual
instructional needs of dancers aged 10 through 21. Classification is based on skill level rather than
age. All Pre-professional students take class in ballet technique and Jazz. Advanced levels also include
pointe and modern. In-class time ranges from 6.5 hours per week in the lower levels up to 35 hours per
week at higher levels.
For dedicated dance students enrolled in independent school programs
(homeschool, online school, half-day programs, or other alternative academic arrangements), MBT’s
Conservatory program offers intensive training during the day. The program offers additional classes at
19 hours of dance class per week (total of 30-35 hours per week when combined with Pre-Professional
class time), and a study room with broadband and ample desk space.
