New students will be placed in one of four divisions, dependent on age and skill level. Each division is instilled to provide the proper training and resources to nourish every dancer’s growth.
All classes offer a unique syllabus and are designed to bring consistency based on traditional classical ballet. The syllabus is taught in all divisions of the school and is followed by every faculty member. All classes offer live piano accompaniment in order to foster an understanding of the relationship between movement and music. The School of Ballet Arizona accepts international students for Professional Program and Studio Company positions.
