What type of dance studio are you?

L'Ecole de Ballet has run for 35 years as a classical ballet studio, along with jazz, tap, and contemporary classes. We hold our classes in an inclusive, trauma-informed environment and believe that dance should be accessible to all. We take pride in our ability to provide rigorous, comprehensive dance education to our students.

Are you a competition studio?

No, we do not compete. At L'Ecole de Ballet we believe that dance is a performing art. Our students are not encouraged to compete against each other or other studios. Each dancer, regardless of age or ability level, has something to offer. Dance allows children to express themselves creatively, to enjoy music and movement, to experience the fun of being a different character on stage, and to build social connections. Each dancer is encouraged to be the best they can; to grow and improve with every class or rehearsal by challenging themselves. Students are reassured that mistakes happen while dancing, and when they do, we provide guidance and education on how to move forward.

What age student do you accept?

We have classes from walking toddlers through adult.

Do you offer combination classes?

We believe that students learn best when a class is focused on clear, specific techniques. All of our faculty members use their extensive background in childhood education and counseling to create the best possible dance curriculum for children of all ages and abilities. Students may enroll in ballet, tap, jazz, or contemporary. Each style of dance is a different class, taught by an instructor who specializes in that particular style of dance.

May we try a class?

Absolutely! We invite you to attend a class as our guest. Please email us for more details.
