Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

The Ballet West Academy trains pure classical ballet with a uniquely American Syllabus developed by our Artistic Director Adam Sklute in conjunction with our world renowned faculty and artistic staff. The training is primarily Cecchetti based incorporating elements of RAD, Paris Opera, Bournonville and Balanchine techniques.

The progressions prepared by the Academy director and principle faculty incorporate scientific principles along with the stylistic requirements of Ballet West.

The result of this approach to dance education allows students to apply their natural talents and adapt to all styles and techniques of dance.
