Excellent, highly quality dance education with no drama. They are a highly experienced, well intentioned ballet academy with the student’s best interest in mind. The teachers are the real deal: experienced, passionate, retired dancers who want to pass on their trade and inspire a love of a dance in the child. We are so happy we switched to EBA last year after 3 years at Ballet Fantastique, which I no longer recommend to anyone. EBA is our new home now and we couldn’t feel more supported about our child’s well being. I highly recommend you just do an observation class and see for yourself

Eugene Ballet Academy offers excellent classical and modern ballet training to students and adults alike. All four of our children have been enrolled in ballet and each had excelled tremendously under EBA's instruction. Being under the Eugene Ballet umbrella has its advantages as students receive instruction from and interaction with Eugene Ballet's company members. Offering ballet, jazz, modern, rap, hip hop and more, this school is well rounded and robust with opportunities for dancers of any age.

I have two kids taking two classes each here, and I am constantly impressed with the teachers professionalism as well as the joy they bring to their work well after week. The other benefit to this school is that the Eugene Ballet Company uses the same building for rehearsals, and my kids have come to know the professional dancers and admire them. It gives them a sense of what they are working toward to be in proximity to such a wonderful company.
