Youth Ballet
We are proud to present an annual full-length ballet performance! Students enrolled in our ballet program participate in this annual event, with all leading roles danced by our own talented pre-professional students.
Past performances include Coppelia, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Cinderella, La Fille Mal Gardee, and Alice in Wonderland.
Pre-professional students in our ballet program often go on to dance professionally, in college, on Broadway, or become professional teachers or studio owners themselves.
