We are dedicated to providing an encouraging environment for each student that focuses on creativity, artistry, and personal growth. We strive to deliver educational experiences that foster a deep love and appreciation for dance, and skills that will serve our students in all aspects of their lives. Students of our school have the opportunity to perform alongside our professional Ballet Tucson company dancers in select productions, including our award-winning production of The Nutcracker in partnership with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra at The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall (formerly known as the Tucson Music Hall). We also provide performance opportunities specifically highlighting our students: The School of Ballet Tucson Spring Showcase and the Annual Summer Workshop Performance. Additionally, students may participate in Masterclasses with renowned guest teachers at a discounted rate throughout the school year.
