Metropolitan Ballet Academy – named by Pointe magazine as one of seven local studios in America cultivating top talent – is open for in-person training, in its Jenkintown studios. Open windows and doors will keep the fresh air circulating and classes will also be offered in a beautiful outdoor setting around the corner.
