The Children's Ballet

The Children’s Ballet strives to inspire our community through accessible dance education and engaging performances.

Founded in 1987 by Deni Jacks, The Children's Ballet is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing high-quality dance instruction while instilling in students self-discipline, dedication, positive self-esteem, and an appreciation for the art of dance. We value and nurture each student's unique gifts of talent and creativity in a safe studio environment in order to educate, enrich, and inspire.

Our dancers begin as young as age 3 and can continue with us through their high school years and beyond. Students who join us for even a brief time, including very young students, will receive a “classical ballet appreciation” education, learning about classical music, composers, French ballet terminology and how ballets can tell a story without words. At the end of our season (September -- May) we produce an original full-length ballet written and choreographed for that season's dancers.

The members of our dedicated and professional faculty, who specialize in several forms of dance, provide their students with the foundation of classical ballet technique through personal attention and teaching.
