Founded in 1968, the California Ballet School is among the largest professionally staffed schools of dance on the West Coast. Lead by Maxine Mahon, California Ballet School maintains successful pre-professional and apprentice programs that provide the caliber of training, technique, style, and environment needed for the most talented students to enter the world of professional dance.
A diverse curriculum and offering of classes -including jazz, tap, body mechanics, Spanish dancing, and more- round out a complete dance training. Special classes for young children emphasize rhythm, movement, and creative expression. Classes for adults provide excellent dance training in a more recreational atmosphere.

Home of the esteemed California Ballet Company, the Main Center is centrally located in Kearny Mesa off the 163 freeway. At this facility we offer more than 75 classes each week for dancers age two through adult in dance styles ranging from ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, flamenco and more. The Main Center is also home to our Summer Dance Program for all levels, ages 6-22, as well as the Junior Company program.
The Children's Division emphasizes creative expressive response to music and the development of strength, poise, and group interaction skills. Special attention is given to the physical, emotional and mental developmental needs of our youngest students. In young children the muscles and bones are delicate and must not be over-stressed during their formative years.
NEW STUDENTS are accepted throughout the year. All new students are given two trial classes to determine proper class placement; upon completion of trial, tuition fee will be posted. New students are prorated for those registering after the start of a quarter. Tuition must be paid in advance of classes being taken; statements will be emailed within 2-3 business days of online registration.
The Junior Company, a function of San Diego's California Ballet School, provides performing opportunities for members of the Pre-Professional division. Talented, hard-working students participate in workshops for training in a variety of dance subjects such as variations, choreography, flamenco, jazz, and contemporary dance.
We are excited to have opened a chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA) Secondary Program here at California Ballet School. High School students enrolled at California Ballet School may consider applying for induction to NHSDA to celebrate their artistic and technical achievements.
