GROW WITH US! We are excited to announce that Metropolitan Youth Ballet of Indiana has a new studio home! We’ve secured an extraordinary property that will meet MYB’s needs as we live our mission of developing young dancing artists to their fullest potential, now and into the future. The 9,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility is located at 6210 Technology Center Drive, Suite 200, Indianapolis. It is well-appointed with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and lots of space to meet our unique needs as one of the premier dance education institutions in Central Indiana! With a few relatively minor renovations, the space provides our dancers, faculty and families with three large sprung floor studios - including a full-sized rehearsal studio with black-box theatre potential, dancer and parent lounges and workspaces, faculty offices, and storage for MYB’s large collection of costumes, sets, props, and backdrops. <span fr-original-style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">Our Campaign goal is $145,000.
