The staff is always devoted to shaping dancers in their best education and proper technique, whether their interests are pursuing a professional career or dancing for fun. It is very important to us that your child receives the best instruction from professionally qualified teachers.

​

Ballet classes at the Academy are based on the Russian syllabus with Balanchine influence. Ballet has been proven time and time again to be the trunk of the tree of dance. The branches of the tree are the different forms of dance, all directly relating to one another and having it's roots in classical ballet.

​

Over the past 50+ years, more than 150 students have gone on to achieve prominent careers across the States, Canada, and Europe in dance companies, television, and the Broadway stage. We are proud to continue that tradition throughout the many years to come!

"In the past 50+ years, I have observed how positive reinforcement and love can work together in the classroom to provide experiences that last a lifetime"
