About the program
The School and all its teachers strive to provide the highest quality dance education by fostering artistic and technical excellence in a nurturing environment that fosters a positive learning experience. Miami City Ballet School’s Student Division consists of six levels. Classes in these division are graded by age, physical strength and development. Students are introduced to progressive levels of ballet technique following the school syllabus for each age-appropriate level. Advancement from level to level is based on annual faculty evaluations of the individual student’s technical ability, physical aptitude, strength, classroom effort and attendance. Entrance to Level 1 is by audition only. Students enrolled in Ballet Prep III will be reevaluated by the school faculty.

DOWNLOAD Student Division Information
End of year evaluations
Advancement from level to level is based on annual evaluations of the individual student’s technical ability, physical aptitude, strength, classroom effort and attendance, as determined by the Artistic Director and faculty.
It is important to note that advancement is a unique process for each individual. Above all, students will be placed in a level that will allow for challenging study without putting at risk the physical health and emotional well-being of the child. Student progress is also evaluated on an ongoing basis and level adjustments will be made throughout the year when warranted. Students wishing to take on additional hours of study in lower level classes may do so, space permitting and with approval of the School Artistic Director.
Faculty
End of year performances
At the end of the school year, students participate in the Student Workshop Performances to highlight their accomplishments throughout the year and gain valuable stage experience.
George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®
Students in this division have the exclusive opportunity to audition for George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker and other productions in the company’s season at the Arsht Center in Miami, Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, and Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. This year, due to the pandemic, MCB performances on the mainstage at these theaters will not go on as originally planned including The Nutcracker. Our 35th Anniversary season is currently being reimagined in light of the pandemic situation, and therefore, any audition opportunities for student roles that may be created will be announced as they are created and in accordance to health and safety guidelines.
