Founded in 1973, the School principally focuses on the instruction and training of dances in classical ballet with offerings in ballet technique, pointe, and variations.  Supplementing our classical venue are courses in creative movement, pre-ballet, jazz, character, and modern dance techniques with levels ranging from beginning to advanced for children and adults. Former students have gone to perform professionally in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Florida, among others.
