Empowering dancers
of all ages to grow in artistry, confidence, and community through ballet education.
Ballet is for everyone.
As a nonprofit school rooted in our community, we've built a place where students of all ages and backgrounds can discover the joy of movement without cost being a barrier.
From our youngest dancers to those pursuing the stage, we are here to teach, support, and celebrate every step of the journey.

OUR PROGRAMS
Classes for every dancer
All new students receive a complimentary placement class. Faculty will recommend the most appropriate level, and placements may be adjusted during the year at the discretion of the Ballet Master.
Your support keeps dancers moving.
We are a nonprofit school powered by a community that believes in the arts. Every donation helps us keep tuition accessible, support students who need financial aid, and bring the joy of ballet to more people in our community.
Our Guiding Philosophies
PERSEVERANCE
Never give up because something is a challenge! Be willing to take the time and figure it out: perseverance will lead to success.
RESPECT
Be polite, kind, and aware of your surroundings. Always strive to treat others as they wish to be treated.
INTEGRITY
We are known by our words and actions. Strive to ensure that they convey who you are in all that you do.
DISCIPLINE
Sometimes it’s hard to be responsible. Good discipline helps us keep working towards our goals, even when we would rather take a break.
EXCELLENCE
We can always continue to grow and improve! Being our best doesn’t mean being perfect, it means always reaching for our potential.
News & Updates
Sliding Scale Tuition
We operate with a sliding scale tuition model. You elect a payment tier that best reflects your ability to pay for classes. Please talk to us if you require additional support or would like to make a more substantial contribution to our programs.
Remember: ability to pay should not be what prevents you from coming to class!
