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.
