2024-2025 Season

2024-2025 Season :: August 12 – May 18

Since our founding in 1987, we have been dedicated to helping students develop self-discipline, dedication, positive self-esteem, and an appreciation for the art of dance. Our students start as young as three years old and many stay with us through high school. Most of our classes last one hour and there are multiple classes every day. We currently serve over 150 local students.

As a nonprofit school, we emphasize accessible dance education, welcoming students of all ages and backgrounds. Our staff is committed to educating, enriching, and inspiring each student’s unique gifts of talent and creativity in a safe studio environment.

All our students, including very young students, receive a classical ballet education, learning about classical music, composers, French ballet terminology, and how dance can tell a story without words

Each year, the school produces its hallmark original full-length ballets, written and choreographed especially for each season’s dancers.
