The School of Nashville Ballet runs half-day summer camps for children ages 3–9 at The Martin Center, including Animal Adventure (ages 3–5, 9am–12pm), Once Upon a Time Story Ballet (ages 7–9), and Broadway Stars (ages 6–9, tap and musical theatre). Each session ends with a short in-studio performance, and older dancers can pursue Junior and Summer Intensives.

Powered by GoogleWe’ve had a great experience with School of Nashville Ballet. My daughters started in Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet, and it’s been really satisfying to watch how deliberately the program builds — not just steps, but confidence, focus, and a genuine love for showing up and trying. They both take their ballet seriously and are very much into it, which says a lot about how the classes are run and how the teachers engage them. Miss Jojo and Mr. Shabaz have both made a strong impression. We just registered again — Pre-Ballet 1 and Academy 1 this year — and we’re excited to keep going. It’s been a thoughtful, well-run program and a really positive part of our lives.
I attend dance fix during my child's ballet class. So it's super convenient and an awesome cardio workout. Dance fix is super fun! The energy is great. It is 10 choreographed dance songs. One new song every two weeks, only the new song is broken down to its choreography for learning. It could be a little intimidating if you're not used to dancing and group fitness and just jumping in and trying new things. The classes are fairly big and it is fast paced. There are advanced moves shown, but everything can be modified to your fitness level. If you love to dance I would highly recommend it. The teachers are always great and everyone is so nice.
My 9yo has been attending Nashville Ballet since she was 4 and we absolutely love it. The curriculum, staff and facility are great and it’s truly a family feel. Now my 3yo is also enrolled and she can’t wait to go to class each week.I also just recently enrolled in the adult ballet classes and those are great as well. Can’t recommend it enough!
I've always wanted to try ballet and Nashville Ballet has been amazing from inquiries to studio. They communicate very well when you're learning about the school, answering all questions and making suggestions for where you should begin depending on your experience. Classes are available for drop in and they offer the $5 first class option to dip your toes in before you leap. In studio, the instructor for adult ballet is amazing- witty, encouraging, easily instructive and positive. My first class was very challenging but also very fulfilling. I can't wait to continue to learn and grow with Nashville Ballet.
My daughter is really enjoying her classes here @ Nashville Ballet. Happy daughter, happy momma. Thank you for creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere !
