Our Mission & Values

OUR MISSION is to grow the next generation of dancers, as well as instill a lifelong appreciation of dance, theater, and music in our students.

WE VALUE teaching proper technique, while being mindful of each student’s health and development, good sportsmanship, and applauding each other’s accomplishments.

WE BELIEVE students reach their highest potential when they are in an environment that mentors, cares, and supports.

OUR FACULTY are highly trained professionals who possess years of experience, degrees, professional performing careers, and most importantly, a gift for working with aspiring youth.

WE TEACH classical ballet, as well as other complimentary dance forms. Our ballet classes are rooted in the Russian Vaganova training method, which emphasizes strong technical ability, generous epaulement, and a deep understanding of musicality.  Each level is carefully crafted to incorporate the building blocks needed before advancing to a new level. We take great care to see each student as an individual, carefully monitoring each student’s needs and progress.

WE PERFORM regularly, as the technical work in the classroom is a preparation for performing. All students may participate in an annual year-end concert, students age 5 and up audition for The Nutcracker, and students in Level 4A and up receive invitations to take a deeper dive into dancer life by joining our Bay Area Ballet Youth Company (BABYC). BABYC dancers benefit from additional performing opportunities, competitions, and serving our surrounding communities.
