In addition, several of our former students are now performing with professional dance companies around the world. Students have also been accepted to American Ballet Theatre's National Training Scholar Program as well as represented the school as a finalist for the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts Presidential Scholar program. Former students have represented the United States of America at the 2002 International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi. Professional ballet instruction is the basis of our student's success.


All dancers are invited to participate in our annual full-length ballet. We do not present "recitals", as do many "studios". Students in the ballet school have the advantage of participating in a full-length classical ballet with historically correct choreography. This allows our students to be exposed to the classics as well as performing alongside high level dancers.
