"Ballet Etudes gave me the tools to build a strong technical foundation & provided me with several performance opportunities that allowed me to grow as an artist.” - Alexandria Heath, Boston Ballet

Pre-Professional Training and Performing Opportunities

Ballet Etudes Academy is the home of Ballet Etudes, the Phoenix Valley’s first pre-professional performing group, formed in 1986. The company, for dancers ages 10-18, offers an array of performing opportunities showcasing the excellence in training our students receive. From enchanting classical ballets like "Cinderella" and "The Nutcracker" to innovative contemporary pieces, each performance is a testament to the dancers' dedication and skill. These opportunities not only allow the dancers to refine their technique but also to gain precious performing experience in a non-competitive setting. Our alums who have gone onto professional careers have attributed much of their performance success to their knowledge and experience gained with Ballet Etudes.

"I am grateful for the experiences you gave me during my time at Ballet Etudes. I know they were an important part of my journey." - Gabriella Domini, New York City Ballet
