The worst ballet school in central Florida. The admin lady Jenny Logus is the rudest person ever. She kept asking me to leave the studio right after the class, I wasn't allowed to hang out in the studio watching other dancers or just to relax and enjoy the facility after a long hard working class. There is one time it was raining heavily outside and I don't want to walk out to my car just waiting for the rain to pass. Jenny insisted me leaving the studio because I was taking space for the props settled in the lobby. The adult "fitness through dance" program is a complete waste of money. I have

This is a beautiful facility to take dance classes in! State-of-the-art facility is kept clean and has gorgeous views of the lake. They offer a wide array of dance classes for adults.. Glenn is a great dance instructor- very patient, fun, and knowledgeable. I also really enjoy contemporary and tap classes with Danielle. Keep up the great teaching 👍!

Just fantastic. I've been dancing since I was very young. After graduating from college a few years ago I haven't been keeping up with it as much as I would like. Until recently. I love that Orlando Ballet offers adult classes that aren't just for beginners. They have great options for someone like me who has been dancing most of their life and is just looking to get back into it, not start from scratch. The teachers are great and the classes are a lot of fun.

"Uncorked" presented by the Orlando Ballet at the Abbey is a treasure . Watching the artistic director, Robert Hill, turn over the moves for spontaneous choreography to his dancers is a delight. Ever a surprise. Tonight wonder boy Arcadian Broad is asked to compose music for the ballet on the spot. This further complicates the drama of the newly choreographed piece called Romeo and Juliet and featuring Daniel Benavides( whose looming presence as Dracula will not be forgotten). His partner, Ani Boer did the impossible things asked of her by the ambitious young choreographers.

Today I saw the production Giselle courtesy of Yelp. First of all I was absolutely blown out of the water by the aesthetics and environment of the new Dr. Phillips Center. The center gives a very modern feel and is well illuminated, providing a cornerstone for the arts in a bustling downtown area. The moment you walk in, you feel like a celebrity among the beautiful spiral staircases; I can't emphasize how spectacularly put-together the building is and how it takes advantage of open spacing. Finally the concert hall is large but spread out well so that there really aren't any seats extremely

What an awesome performance! On March 6th, I was able to see the performance of Battle of the Sexes and it was simply amazing! This was such a cool way to spend a Friday evening.
The various story lines ranged from intimate and intense to fun with a touch of comedy...just a brilliant mix of emotions. This was my first trip to the Orlando Ballet and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have to admit that I am quite pleased with the level of talent displayed. I really enjoyed the performance and I do hope to attend more performances here.

Captivating from beginning to end. I am so grateful for Yelp to allow me to experience the talent that I was able to witness from these hard working dancers. I was completely blown away by Contemporary Dance and Ballet. The Battle of the Sexes should have been titled "The Battle of Brilliance." I am like hello should I start taking dance classes ASAP. Honestly the performance was thought provoking and emotionally charged and gravitating. The creativity of the performance was through the roof. The Queen dance routine and the Michael Jackson dance routine were clever and simply mind blowing

The Orlando Ballet deserves five solid stars. Talented and creative, Robert Hill, Orlando Ballet's creative director, displays his true leadership abilities by not only developing world class talent, but also displays great character and security in letting and encouraging members of his ensemble, also create and direct.
Orlando Ballet is refreshing, dynamic and captivating.
We are fortunate to have such a cast here in Orlando, and I am looking forward to enjoying many more of their performances in the future.

The battle of the sexes theme was fun to watch. It was essentially a dance battle with a lot of integrated scenes in between, the dancers also had crowd interaction as well. Which was something I didn't expect. As usual I would say the boys def won the battle whoop whoop!!

Fun and elegant night at the DPAC watching the Orlando Ballet Battle of the Sexes performance. Enjoyed the creative aspects of the show and found it very abstract, beautiful, and avant garde.
It was breathtaking to see the controlled and detailed technical movements of the dancers, it's really spectacular to see this up close. The first half of the show was very moody and emotional, but the high-energy feel of second act was my favorite part. I enjoyed the mix of ballet and modern dance routines set to the music of Michael Jackson and Queen. The end ballet act set to Ravel's Bolero

Attended "Battle of The Sexes" performance at Dr. Phillips Performing art center Saturday...wow, what a treat! Beautiful, somber, energetic and fun all rolled up into one show! Music varied from pop to classical with ensemble numbers and couples as well. We particularly loved the Bjork song chroegraphy.... The queen and Michael Jackson pieces were fun too! The last piece "Bravado" I believe was so well done and very classical ballet. This show really showed off the diversity of style and talent this troupe posseses !

Orlando Ballet you have a new fan. Over the last few months I have had the pleasure of enjoying some great performances from Orlando Ballet.
In December I reluctantly went to see The Nutcracker because I have seen it many times before. The dancers were great in their roles. I especially loved the skill of the dancers that I witnessed during the court performances. I was impressed by the skill of the Russian and Arabian dancers.
My next peak into the Orlando Ballet was through the uncorked event. It was a behind the scenes look at how the ballets are choreographed. We got a sneak peak of the next

This is our second trip for a show and, like before, it was wonderful! On our first visit we saw The Nutcracker, this time, Battle of the Sexes. The venue is wonderful and all of the staff are extremely kind and helpful. What really impressed me is that all of the seats are good ones. Every production is beautiful and the dancers are very skilled. We're really looking forward to more date nights here! It's nice to be able to grab dinner and a show ay such an upscale venue.

5 Stars for a company full of world-class dancers that is not afraid to take risks!
I've been to a number of Orlando Ballet shows in the past year (Vampire's Ball, A Choreographers' Showcase, Battle of the sexes, Swan Lake, etc) as well as their more intimate, stripped down Uncorked at The Abbey, and have fallen in love.
I would recommend anyone with the slightest interest to attend a show, or better yet, attend an Uncorked! performance. This is a more casual evening with wine where you get to watch the creative process unfold and get to interact with the dancers and the fabulous

I haven't had the opportunity to go a ballet in years so I was super stoked to be offered the opportunity to see The Vampires Ball. What a fantastic way to be reintroduced to the ballet experience. I absolutely loved it! I was seated in the front row and able to see everything perfectly. The dancers were all so talented. One even played the piano for a few of the dances as well as danced. The story being told through music and dance was so vivid. It was if someone was reading the story to you verbally. The set and a costumes were extremely well thought out as well. Everything was just perfect

I have lived in Orlando for 11 years and just today (Vampire's Ball) was my first trip to the Orlando Ballet... shame on me. What a fabulous production, this may have been my first trip but it is definitely not my last. Thanks to Yelp's Culture Club, I was introduced to such an amazing company and fabulous Artistic Director, Robert Hill. He went above and beyond what is expected of a ballet performance with Vampire's Ball.
I was intrigued from the first moment and couldn't wait till the closing curtain so see each element of this awesome show. The dancers were incredible.
