We have a new name! Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy is now
Look for changes to our website, communications, and social media throughout the summer!
This is a change in name only — our studio, tremendous faculty, and outstanding instruction will all remain the same.
Our Mission
Metropolitan Youth Ballet (formerly named Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy) is dedicated to developing dancers to their fullest potential. We believe that through encouragement, discipline, and dedication our professional instructors can nurture dancers to a higher degree of achievement, confidence, and self-esteem.
We strive to give young dancing artists the tools necessary to succeed in the collegiate and professional market both nationally and internationally.
We strive to build beautiful dancers and wholesome human beings. We also desire to further enrich the cultural life of Central Indiana and the surrounding areas by producing quality performances and events for the community.
Metropolitan Youth Ballet is proud to include the American Ballet Theatre® National Training Curriculum among its training methods. This breakthrough nine-level program combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels.
Activities are made possible in part by the Indiana Arts Commission and Arts Midwest through American Rescue Plan Act funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
