Welcome to Academy of Ballet Arts
At the Academy of Ballet Arts, we feel very privileged to work with your children and pass on to them the beauty and art of ballet.
We provide the highest caliber training from the beginning student to the professional, while developing confidence and self esteem in a caring, supportive environment.
We believe in teaching our students that with passion, discipline, and self-motivation they will be able to be successful in any career they choose to pursue.
We believe that training the mind is essential to effective training of the body.
We believe that experiencing the performing arts is a vital element in the
development and education of our children.
Children who participate in and study the arts…
- Have higher SAT scores;
- Are less likely to engage in delinquent behavior, enter the juvenile court system, and drop out of school;
- Spend fewer hours watching television;
- Are better able to complete a task from start to finish;
- Are more resistant to peer pressure;
- Have higher self-esteem;
- Exhibit creativity and imagination;
- Are better prepared to live and work in our diverse society.
Dance is a delicate balance
between perfection and beauty.
Happy, Healthy Dancers….
