My two girls took ballet classes at MPAD, the oldest for 5 years (ages 2 - 7) and the youngest for 3 years (ages 2-5). The girls enjoyed their classes and performing in June. However, my oldest decided she really wanted to do really ballet (vs dancing with wands and scarfs and talking into a microphone) so we switched to a studio aligned with a professional ballet group (she wanted to be in the Nutcracker). I believe one of the reasons it was difficult for them to learn proper ballet technique was everyone of their classes had 25 children in each class which is way too many.
