We changed our name! Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy is now Metropolitan Youth Ballet. This is a change in name only — our tremendous faculty and outstanding instruction remains the same.
We will have a new studio home later this year! This state-of-the-art facility is located at 6210 Technology Center Drive, Suite 200, Indianapolis, just 10 minutes from our current location. Look for more information and a timeline coming soon. We understand that a different location may change logistics for some, so we encourage you to familiarize yourselves with our withdrawal policy in case an adjustment to your dancer’s registration becomes necessary.

Tuition Rates
The dance year at MYB is divided into two semesters: August-December and January-May. Students are enrolled per semester, and tuition is charged per semester. There is an annual Family Registration Fee of $40 for returning families and $50 for new families. Un-enrolling from a class must be done in writing; otherwise full payment for the semester is expected.
Tuition is calculated based on the number of class hours the dancer is registered for, and the balance due is posted to your Studio Director account at the beginning of each month. The table below shows rates for class hours per week. Click here for a more detailed table that shows all possible class hours per week.
Two payment options are available:
- Single Payment (beginning of semester): check only, eligible for a 5% discount*
- Five Payments (beginning of each month): credit card online, check or cash at the studio
Unpaid accounts must be cleared in order to register for the next semester or any summer programs. Unpaid balances will be sent to collections.
*If you are interested in taking advantage of the 5% discount, please choose this option when checking out in our Studio Director payment portal. You will then receive an email with more information. The following conditions must be met:
- Family account must be paid up (no outstanding balances from previous semester)
- Amount must be paid by check before the end of the first month.
- Discount only applies to class tuition (it can not be applied to registration, rehearsals, or production fees)
- We will credit any previously made monthly payments
