North Central Ballet provides a training for the beginning dancer as well as the serious dancers who wish to develop a stage presence while advancing their education. Dancers in the area who are proficient in classical ballet and pointe work are eligible to audition for the company. In all things we strive to instill the desire for excellence in art, cooperation among young people and a sense of pride in our community.

Former students have also been accepted to American Ballet Theatre’s National Training Scholar Program as well as represented the school as a finalist for the National
Foundation for Advancement in the Arts Presidential Scholar program. Former
students have represented the United States of America at the 2002 International
Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi.
All dancers are invited to participate in our annual production of The Nutcracker and a full-length ballet in June. We do not present “recitals”, as do many “studios”. Students in the ballet school have the advantage of participating in a full-length classical ballet with historically correct choreography. This allows our students to be exposed to the classics as well as performing alongside high level dancers. North Central Ballet offers classes for ages 4 – adult, beginner thru professional levels.
