As Edmond's only ballet-focused dance studio, Classical Ballet School trains our dancers using the respected Cecchetti method of classical ballet technique. We believe in developing our dancers' artistry and confidence outside the studio by giving them real stage experience in our annual professional-level story ballets. Wonderful studio for my daughter! Even though my 10-year-old daughter had never taken ballet before, the staff and teachers at Classical Ballet School made her feel very welcome.

We love watching our little dancers' faces light up each week when discovering a new note from the fairy queen. A journey through the Enchanted Forest weaves together an appreciation for the beauty of nature, imagination, classical music, ballet technique, and friendship. Enchanted Forest students dance for family and friends each semester during Visitors Week.
Classical Ballet School offers performance-based classes for young children ages 5-7. Primary Performance Division students grow their artistry and confidence through participation alongside our older Classical Performance Division students in our annual story ballet. Students enrolled in our Primary Performance Division enjoy a year-round study of classical ballet (summer breaks included).
Age 8 marks the beginning of formal ballet study at Classical Ballet School, and our students' introduction to exam-level Cecchetti training. Our Classical Performance students learn not just the how but also the why behind different ballet movements as they progress through our curriculum. Dancers are taught correct placement, technique and muscle development to avoid unnecessary stress and injury on their growing bodies.
We have students new to dance who have waited years to fulfill their childhood dream of taking ballet classes, and students who want to recapture the creative outlet they enjoyed throughout childhood. No matter where you fall, you'll find people just like yourself in our Adult Classical Ballet class.
Ballet exam preparation provides dancers with a tangible goal to work towards and encourages the deliberate practice required for strong technique, artistry, and quality of movement. The exam process provides feedback for dancers on their progress and encourages the disciplined study required to progress through the Cecchetti grade levels.
