Amherst Ballet

"Amherst ballet is a wonderful studio with high quality instructors. It provides a very supportive environment for young dancers while not compromising on good technique. The staff are very flexible in allowing you to take trial lessons, and if you don’t want to commit for the whole year they allow you to try a semester at a time—- we have been really happy with our experience so far, and the new director Mikayla is a lovely dancer and warm, encouraging teacher! The building may be a bit worn but the studios are spacious and airy, and the place has soul. Strongly recommend!"

"Help the best traditional ballet institute in the Valley! They need funding to continue with excellent courses, shows, the program ballet for all, guest dancers, workshops, events, plus maintenance of that old building. My daughter loves it always! She's been dancing for 9 years there! Please donate for the love of music and dance! Thanks!"

"Amherst Ballet balances a fun, supportive environment for dancers of all levels and aspirations with high caliber pre-professional classical and contemporary training. Director Molly Stamell is committed to dancer health and well-being. Through scholarships, teaching, performances, and community outreach, the school furthers its mission of "ballet for all.""

"Amherst Ballet provides excellent instruction in technique in a positive learning atmosphere. The performances are extraordinary considering the ages of the dancers. I appreciate that the instructors emphasize what the dancers' bodies can do, rather than what they look like."
