The Ballet Studio was opened in 1998 to fulfill a need in the Acadiana area by providing a studio where dancers of all ages could come to study ballet and other forms of dance in an education-based, positive, and encouraging yet disciplined environment. The mission of The Ballet Studio is to provide its students with the highest quality dance education possible, so that they will gain a love and appreciation of the art of dance, as well as an enhanced sense of self worth and accomplishment.

Classes are offered at all levels from pre-school to adult. We have classes to fill every dancer’s needs, whether training in our program to become a professional dancer or for fitness, enjoyment and the love of dance

Early Childhood Division

Leap ‘N Learn: Our Early Childhood Division is specifically designed to provide boys and girls between the ages of three and seven with a strong foundation in dance and movement. These classes meet once a week for 50 to 75 minutes, depending on age. All levels are essentially structured the same, with the content based on age-appropriate developmental skills. Classes focus on pre-ballet and creative movement concepts. Click here for more information.

Angelina Ballerina™ Dance Academy:  Angelina Ballerina, the world-famous dance character from the beloved children’s book series, is a little star with big dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. When little girls share in Angelina’s experiences, they are inspired to go after their big dreams too.

As an official Angelina Ballerina Dance Academy partner studio, The Ballet Studio will be offering  summer dance camps in July and on-going classes beginning in September 2012. Click here for more information.

     


Level & Trainee Divisions

Our goal at The Ballet Studio is to provide dance training through our Level and Trainee Divisions that will meet the many needs of dancers ages 8 and up. The Level Division consists of training for recreational students with a desire to learn ballet and other styles of dance, while our Trainee Division has been designed to meet the needs of students looking to study dance with the determination to commit to a serious ballet based program. Placement considerations of students in the Trainee Division are based on age, level of commitment, technical ability and physical strength. Admittance into the Level Division is based on age and experience. Click here for more information.
