Alabama Ballet School

Throwback to our Adult Ballet showcase a few weeks ago — we’re still beaming over these students 💖

We couldn’t be more proud of them. They show up, class after class, committing to something that may be completely new to them or that they haven’t done in years.

Adult ballet is for everyone: complete beginners stepping into a studio for the first time, and experienced dancers continuing their training.

Wherever you are in your journey, there’s a class for you.

Drop in anytime — no long-term commitment required.

🩰 Week Two of Junior Intensive is starting strong! ✨

Our dancers ages 9–12 are hard at work — from Ballet Technique and 4-Pointe Method to Contemporary, Conditioning, and Variations, plus a little dance history to connect it all to the art form’s rich lineage. 💙

The growth we’ve seen already? Incredible. And there’s still so much more to come — including our open class finale, where families get an inside look at all this progress!

And just like that, Summer Intensives 2026 comes to a close. 🩰

Four weeks of hard work, growth, and artistry culminated in a beautiful end-of-session performance — and we couldn’t be prouder of every dancer who took the stage.

Watching these students push themselves, find new confidence, and share what they’ve learned made for the perfect finale to an unforgettable summer.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Guest Instructors for sharing their time, talent, and expertise with our dancers:
✨ Hope Muir — Artistic Director, National Ballet of Canada
✨ Nicole Koenig — Guest Teacher/Coach & Creator of Ballet Syllabus Solutions
✨ Donette Cannonie — Chicago-based Hip Hop & Contemporary Teacher

To our students, families, and faculty — thank you for making this summer one to remember. We can’t wait to see where these dancers go next.
