Dance is an expression of the soul

Our Mission is to develop well rounded dancers with a strong emphasis on classical ballet. Classical ballet is the foundation of all dance forms and teaches each student dicipline, confidence and a positive self expression.

The Baird Ballet performs twice a year at the Rome City Auditorium. Our Christmas performances focus on bibical stories and the dancer's self expression to help share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our spring performances showcase our tap, jazz and hip hop students to popular hip hop, contemporary and broadway music and ballet students perform in our evening show which varies from selective contemporary Christian music to classical.

The Majestic Ballet Company performs at churches, schools, malls and other venues throughout the year. Mission of the company is to help carry the Good News of our Lord and Savior to the public and to help restore dance as a powerful form of worship (Psalm 149:3) Praise His name in dancing.

Our dancers come from different backgrounds, and the courses they offer reflect that diversity. What brings them together is a passion for dance and a desire to pass on their knowledge to others.

The school offers additional classes in tap, jazz and hip hop for all levels. These classes are optional.
