Core offering

Ballet Beautiful NYC sells ballet-inspired streaming workout subscriptions (Classic and Prima tiers), one-on-one online private training sessions led by trained instructors, and a curated line of branded activewear and dancewear, all built around the proprietary Ballet Beautiful method developed by founder Mary Helen Bowers. The company also retails individual streaming videos, DVD workout sets, and gift cards through its direct-to-consumer website.

Product overview

Ballet Beautiful is an authentic ballet-inspired fitness and lifestyle brand founded by former New York City Ballet dancer Mary Helen Bowers.

Beyond subscriptions, the business offers individual streaming video purchases, online private training sessions, physical DVDs, and a curated activewear collection including Prima Pro Canvas Slippers, leotards, and dancewear essentials.
