Corvallis Academy of Ballet

Corvallis Academy of Ballet has served Corvallis, Oregon since 1995 from 108 NW Second Street, and is the home of the Willamette Apprentice Ballet. Its core training is Vaganova-based classical ballet technique, extended through pointe, variations and partnering classes, with supplemental offerings in character dance, modern dance and Chinese dance. The academy trains students from age 4 through adult, and states that aspiring professionals and recreational dancers are equally welcome. Its stated philosophy is that the grace, poise and self-discipline learned from classical ballet carry over into every aspect of students' lives, and it asks students to apply both physical and mental discipline in pursuit of technique, fitness and artistry. The academy accepts students of all races, genders, religions and national origins, runs lower and upper division recitals, and publishes a fall class schedule and tuition rates each season.
