Welcome to Flemingtown’s premier destination for classical ballet training – The Metropolitan School of Dance. With a rich history dating back to 1945, our school, founded by the esteemed Patricia Joan McCarthy, has been a beacon of excellence in ballet education. Situated in the heart of Ireland, we offer a nurturing environment where aspiring dancers, starting as young as 3 years old, embark on a remarkable journey into the enchanting world of ballet.
At The Metropolitan School of Dance, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of classical ballet training. Our dedicated instructors guide students through a comprehensive curriculum, from Pre-Primary to Advanced 2 and Pre-Professional levels. We proudly prepare our students for Royal Academy of Dance examinations, consistently achieving outstanding results in both graded and vocational assessments.
Our holistic approach to ballet education not only fosters technical proficiency but also nurtures essential life skills. Through ballet, our students cultivate self-confidence, poise, musicality, core strength, flexibility, and coordination. Moreover, they experience the thrill of performing in prestigious venues like the O’Reilly Theatre at Belvedere College, making their journey with us both enriching and rewarding. Join us at The Metropolitan School of Dance, and let the art of ballet elevate your life in every sense.
