The Academy is dedicated to quality teaching of classical ballet using the Russian Vaganova syllabus. Through its aim at precision, strength and agility, the Vaganova curriculum teaches students to dance with their whole bodies to achieve an expressive range. The Vaganova curriculum for beginning and intermediate students is expanded as the students advance to include the techniques advocated by George Balanchine. Upon the completion of the Academy program and the mastery of the Academy syllabus the student is prepared for a professional career.

Of course not all students will go on to professional ballet careers. However, we believe that the focus, discipline, and determination of the ballet training offered at the Academy will benefit our students in any endeavor they choose. Our hope is that our students will develop a love of dance, music, and art that will last a lifetime.

We invite you to call us at (817) 465-4644 for more information about the Academy and for specific information about placement. We are happy to make arrangements for prospective students to observe a class.
