Barbara Collignon: I've been a student at the Milwaukee studio for 10 years now and have enjoyed lessons, parties, balls and competitions. I can honestly say that the last 10 years have been among the most fun of my life-- thanks to the wonderful professional teachers at FADS!

Edward Burr: My last 2 years at Fred Astaire have been a dream! I started dancing kind of as a joke. I was traveling to Brazil for my friends wedding and thought I'd learn to Samba in a couple months to prepare. What I found was an energetic and supportive community of like-minded individuals. Positive, supportive, and understanding. And that's just the other students. The instructors are even better. You will not regret your time here. You will feel uncomfortable but you will get past it and on the other side is an unparalleled sense of confidence. And you'll look great doing it!

Timothy Wade: but also interact with the staff. The staff is fun to work with and they keep you focused on whatever dance or routine you are doing. I would recommend going to Fred Astaire because learning the dances and routines will keep you fit and get to interact with staff that enjoy what they do and wants you to have as much fun as they do.

I walk out tired but very, very happy!

Mariana Wagner: Let me paint you a picture—imagine an evening where every pirouette tells a story and every note from the orchestra resonates with your soul. That was our unforgettable experience at the Milwaukee Ballet's recent rendition of Dracula.As a parent, it's a proud moment when you see your son on stage. Remi Wagner, who's part of MBII, didn't just perform—he lived through all three acts. The gleam in his eyes and the commitment in his every move were a testament to the brilliant training he has received at the Milwaukee Ballet.The choreography, masterfully designed by Michael Pink, was nothing short of magnificent. It was as if the dancers were paintbrushes, and the stage was their canvas. The fluid moves, coupled with the eerie, yet captivating storyline, made the choreography both gorgeous and creepy. It's a paradox that only a genius like Michael Pink could pull off.And can we talk about the costumes and set design? Stunning doesn't even begin to describe it. Imagine stepping into a world that's hauntingly beautiful, where every thread, every prop, and every piece of scenery builds on the story's dark allure.The orchestra, ah! They were the invisible narrators, bringing Bram Stoker's tale to life. The music was so in tune with the narrative that you could close your eyes and still feel the story progress, heightening every emotion and capturing the essence of each scene.Saving the best for last—Davit Hovhannisyan as Dracula. To say his performance was mesmerizing would be an understatement. This was Davit's final career performance, and oh, what a way to cap off an illustrious journey! His portrayal was a masterclass, capturing the torment and charisma of Dracula with sublime elegance.If I could give this performance more than five stars, I would. It was an evening that left us spellbound, drawing us into its dark, fantastical world, and releasing us back into reality only after the curtains closed. Catch it if you can, folks. It's not just a ballet; it's a storytelling masterpiece.Bravo, Milwaukee Ballet. Bravo!

Scott Ponath: Really nice facility

Jeff Stehley: Experienced Genesis.It was amazing. Beautiful facility and the staff were wonderful. Cant wait to return.

David Boman: The program was the every other year choreography competition and was at the small Baumgartner Center and not at the PAC. We have been season ticket holders for over 20 years. The choreography and the dancers performance was amongst the best ever for the years we have attended the competition. Enjoyed the intimacy of the Baumgartner Center. At my being just over six feet tall the amount of leg room was inadequate combined with no arm room between seats, it was constricting. The program was on a shorter side and I was physically quite uncomfortable by the end. That being said I do look forward to more performances there, but only for shorter programs.

Ryan Landowski: My daughter who was born with Spina Bifida takes an adaptive Ballet class. She loves and adores everyone who teaches the class as well the friends she made in the past few years. 5⭐ all the way .Thank you Milwaukee Ballet for thinking about the ones who may not be able to walk ... or that aren't verbal. Thank you for making my daughter feel like everyone else even if it's for a few weeks out of the year !!!!!!!!!!

Darolyn Jedrzejczak: Wonderful to see a live performance

Heidi Sjostrom: Sparkling 40 minute version of the Nutcracker! I'll play the online recording for my granddaughter!
