Ballet and More in the Cleveland Area
Home to the largest adult ballet community in North East Ohio!
We are so proud to serve over 100 adult ballet students each week! We mean it when we say that we take adults just as seriously as kids. We have designed progressive and systematic programs with a focus on building community and friendship. If you want to learn ballet - we have a plan to get you from total beginner to advanced or wherever your goals might be.
Positive Transformations
We believe that dance can make the world a better place.
Obesity, isolation and uncertainty are just some of the very real challenges facing youth and adults today. Many people are longing for a positive community to be a part of.
We know intimately the way that dance can bring people together, create community and spark joy. Dance builds healthy bodies as a foundation for learning to practice discipline, work with others, face challenges with grace, take creative approaches to solving problems and develop bravery to take risks - all with the support of like-minded developing artists and instructors.
It's not about Trophies...
We take care to avoid a focus on trophies, competition and waistlines which can create a competitive atmosphere of anxiety and poor body image where only a few students shine and others are left on the sidelines.
We believe excellence can be achieved by all students, regardless of age, body type or natural ability. Our programs allow students to refine their talents while strengthening their weakness with opportunities to succeed and meaningfully contribute in diverse areas of the studio.
