We can’t wait to see you at auditions. 🩰

Ballet builds the dancer behind every style 🩰.

From first pliés to advanced training, dancers develop the technique, control, musicality, strength, and artistry that support everything they do onstage.

Our ballet programming offers age-appropriate training for different levels of experience. New dancers are welcome in our introductory classes. Dancers ages 12+ must have prior dance experience and may require faculty placement. Pointe work is reserved for faculty-approved advanced students.

Not sure which class is the right fit? Send us the dancer’s age and previous training experience, and we’ll guide you from there.

Fall classes are live. Spots are limited. This isn’t a drill.
