Together, these elements define Madison Ballet’s dynamic presence in the cultural landscape.

The School of Madison Ballet creates a deeper connection

Students of the School of Madison Ballet (SMB) receive more than a guided path to professional dance careers. While under our instruction, they have the privilege of attending one of the most highly respected and affordable dance schools in the Midwest, as well as the official training institute for the Overture Center resident Madison Ballet.

With classes from youth to adult, our trained faculty provide invaluable instruction to dancers at every stage of their pre-professional careers. We also offer drop-in youth and adult classes for community members looking to indulge in their love of dance.
