We hope to enhance the lives of children and the community through the beauty and discipline of classical ballet.

Starting with our Mommy and Me Ballet class, and continuing through to our High School program, we offer classes to all ages and levels. Classical ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance, and while some schools offer ballet in a supplemental capacity, at the Ballet Academy of Pittsburgh, it is our specialty!.
