Karla Sweeney founded St. Croix Ballet in 1991 in the basement of the Sweeney's Stillwater home. She built the program into one of the Twin Cities top ballet studios. After a gallant 15-year battle with late-stage breast cancer, Mz. Karla graduated from the University of Utah with a BFA in Ballet. She danced with Ballet West and several regional companies in the Southwest, performing in the Nutcracker, Les Sylphides, Coppelia, and others.

Report
St. Croix Ballet has been a big part of our family since my daughter first joined in 2007. It’s a positive and encouraging environment for a child to grow up in. Steeped in rich tradition and a welcoming community, St. Croix Ballet is an ideal place for any child learning the fine art of Classical Russian Ballet.
