The Ballet Academy, directed by Elissa Colombi Okin, provides students with intensive schooling in classical and modern ballet technique and form. The staff combines the discipline demanded for ballet training with a gentle and caring attitude that is rare in the dance world.

Available to students at The Ballet Academy is participation in Ballet Jeunesse, a performing company which presents original works in an annual concert. Ballet Jeunesse allows young, advanced level dancers to experience the joy of performing and the behind-the-scenes rigors of preparing a concert.

Each summer, The Ballet Academy host an intense four-week dance camp, designed to strengthen the skills of serious dance students. The program includes introduction to dance history, makeup, costuming and other dance forms, such as modern and jazz.

The Academy offers adults ballet classes at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels as well as modern and character classes taught by respected professionals.
