In addition to Classical Ballet, we offer Tap, Jazz, Pre-Ballet for ages 3-5, Modern, and Contemporary Dance so students can choose from a variety of styles. Even if you do not plan on a career in dance, you still receive the best technical training and performance opportunities offered in the area.
Mendocino Ballet promotes the unique power of the performing arts to nourish our communities by enriching the lives of our children. Class sizes are limited so students receive individual attention. Our studios are family friendly with waiting areas for parents who want to watch their children dance, along with age-appropriate curriculum in a safe, non-competitive classroom.

When their body has matured enough to develop technique and when they are able to focus in class, usually around age 6 for Basic Ballet (age 5 with Pre-Ballet experience) and age 8 for Regular Ballet classes. When the child has enough prior experience and sense of self to know they want to do Ballet on a more serious level.
Thank you to the following businesses and individuals who have contributed to recent performances by the Mendocino Ballet. These include "Nutcracker", School Tours for county wide school children, and our End of Year performances. Partnerships created between individuals, businesses and the arts enhance the cultural advancement of our entire community.
