Beginner to Pre-Professional Instruction in Pointe, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern Contemporary, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Aerial Ballet And more Midwest Regional Ballet (MRB) is a dance education center for children, teenagers, and adults, and is located in Joplin, MO. For more info about classes, visit: http://midwestregionalballet.com/ballet-school MRB welcomes recreational dancers of any age (someone who just loves to dance and doesn't want a career in the performing arts). Recreational dancers receive the same kind of training as Company dancers, and the same invitation to participate in productions. They just don't train as many hours per week as a company dancer. The pre-professional performing Dance Company portion of MRB School was formed in 1999 as a means for young dancers in the Four State area to achieve a professional career in performing arts by providing them the necessary technical foundation, skills, and performance experience required to be successful in the arts. There is no other dance school in the Four State area that affords students the opportunity to perform in full length productions through a performance season, thus developing a proficient performance repertoire and résumé. The MRB Dance Company exists to equip students for a successful career in any aspect of the arts, through knowledge, confidence, and discipline.
