Comprised of beautiful backdrops and costumes, Junior Ballet dancers perform in a one hour show which showcases their work, technique & skill learned throughout the year.

Senior Ballet dancers showcase a full length Ballet comprised of pointe technique, variations and Pas de Deux from classical repertoire including; Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Le Corsaire, Sleeping Beauty & more. Our students who competed at Youth America Grand Prix have their own performance.
