Reviews of Boston Ballet School (Dance School)

Chelsey Anderson

I went to the adult classes here for about 6 years off and on. I grew up doing ballet, and love the adult classes here. It's often hard to find high quality adult classes because the students have a very wide range in abilities, and the classes do a good job of designing and choreography that is both challenging but also intuitive to learn. I really enjoy class with Arthur Leeth, his choreography is great and his combinations are beautiful and challenging and really fun to do. Excellent experience.

Every performance by the Boston Ballet is spectacular. The recent production of Swan Lake was better than even expected, with brand-new costumes and set. And of course the Boston Ballet Nutcracker is a Boston tradition.

I work here and I sincerely LOVE it! I gave my parents my complimentary tickets to see "Sound of Shades" and they loved it!!!

George is an incredible instructor. A true master in the art of ballet. To have a maestro play the piano live in every single class is a gift. I continue to learn and be inspired with this class.

I absolutely love both the Boston Ballet Company and the classes. I take adult beginner classes and the teachers are SO kind and helpful. The atmosphere of the adult classes is very friendly and welcoming and you don't feel judged for your level or body type. I have had such a wonderful experience and have met so many wonderful people. Also, I love going to the ballet. They are top notch quality and have the highest level of excellence in technique and musciality. So inspiring! Check them out either for a ballet performance or for classes! Young and old are welcome at Boston Ballet!

Their world-class performances are not too be missed. New home at the Boston Opera House is simply magnificent. The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition.

Prominent Boston institution. The principal performance space is in need of repair and renovation. Alcohol sales make for unruly guests.

Somehow it does seem that four stars should be more than liked it, and five should be absolutely superlative. With Boston Ballet there were some very precious and treasured evenings of watching lovely performances. The first time we went a colleague had invited and Rudolf Nureyev was to perform in Don Quixote with Paris Ballet, and all dressed up with high expectations off we went. Halfway through the performance I was wondering why the title performer seemed less of an attraction and the young lover more so, was I not artistic enough to know subtleties of ballet? I had assumed Nureyev would be doing the title role. Then on it was an addiction not easily satisfied what with meagre economic resources and high costs of the evening, but then a few years later it became possible, just about, and I went ballistic, buying a year's subscription when offered on phone. So it began for the short year that it was. There was the eternal superlative Swan Lake, and that was the first one we saw, with me a friend with her Russian heritage and therefore much more knowledgeable in ballet. I loved it, she had seen better and merely said she had as much or more fun watching me. I don't remember which was the third one, because Sleeping Beauty I saw in NY with American Ballet, but in Boston I recall vividly performance of Romeo and Juliet, with its poignant music and its conception of Death as a character. In between I was fortunate enough to see a film about Kirov Ballet in downtown Boston, and a performance of Swan Lake by Bolshoi on cable - then it was new - in the friend's home on their small television. It was a revelation, and remains the peak of my ballet appreciation so far. What with beginning with Nureyev in Paris Ballet and finale with Bolshoi, still, the Boston Ballet with the two memorable performances we saw remain memorable. The music, watching them take flight as swans and perform as humans, everything fairy tale. As it is meant to be.

For a prominent ballet school, the administration is close to incompetent. Distinct lack of communication because info emails to parents often do not arrive in a timely fashion. All classes in Classical Ballet program are overcrowded with few students receiving proper attention or correction. Expectations of technique and assessment not explained to students. Bullying of students by other students and their parents barely addressed or handled.
