The Santa Clarita Ballet Academy offers comprehensive dance programs with an emphasis on classical ballet. The Academy’s ballet program is provided by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) in London. The RAD is an international teaching organization committed to setting standards of excellence in ballet education. The Academy also offers classes in tap, jazz and contemporary dance.
The Academy welcomes students of all levels of ability and interest, from age three and up. New students are always welcome. Summer workshops are offered to students registered at the Academy.
Academy students are invited to perform with the Santa Clarita Ballet Company each June and in The Nutcracker each December. These are wonderful opportunities for young dancers to show off their developing skills through sophisticated choreography. Unlike the typical dance studio recital, SCBC performances are productions of a very high caliber in their own right. The performances of the Santa Clarita Ballet Company have been recognized by many renowned arts organizations such as the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the California Arts Council, and several foundations supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. Many current and former Academy students have participated in some of the nation’s most renowned ballet competitions, programs, schools, and companies, including American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, Julliard, Miami City Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, the Walt Disney Company. , and the Washington DC Ballet, to name a few.
The Academy staff includes nine distinguished instructors whose credentials are internationally recognized. Our beautiful space of five studios reflects a professional atmosphere and a positive learning environment in which students discover the beauty of ballet. The studios are located at 26798 Oak Avenue in Santa Clarita.
