Mission

At Ballet Academy & Movement we want to help our community move their bodies so they can be healthier, happier, lives and reach their potential no matter what their dance and movement goals and aspirations may be.

Our Difference

Our staff, programming, and partners create a welcoming and affirming environment, within a structured yet flexible framework, and with careful and kind but firm attention to our members’ growth.

Our WONDERFUL Team

Guest Teachers

You're in good company!

We cherish our community of parents, family & friends as they are the sole reason we exist and have such conviction about or mission, core values and behaviors.

The studio has been very welcoming and inclusive for my daughter.

She's learned a lot, the teachers are professional, very skilled, consistent and kind!  They put on a beautiful production of the Nutcracker every year and another ballet in the spring and it's always an event we look forward to.

We found BAM and realized we were home!

Our daughter at 8 years old had zero dance exposure/experience when we walked in the door, but she had been begging to be in a Nutcracker performance.  We found BAM and realized we were home! In 2 years I noted confidence and poise.  She has made lovely friends and adores her teachers.  BAM offers a very kind and loving environment.  We just couldn't be happier!

Our Experience at BAM has been nothing but wonderful!

My daughter decided she wanted to start ballet at age 11.  I was worried she was starting late and might feel insecure.  BAM welcomed her and has been such a positive experience for her.  She can't get enough and joined their comp team.  It's her home away from home.  she is surrounded by sweet supportive friends and talented teachers.  I feel so blessed and lucky that she landed at this amazing studio with so much love, talent, and support!

Parent, Company Student

We've tried 3 different dance studios and finally found a home here.

The teachers are professionally trained dancers who focus on technique and mentor with positive encouragement.  My girls are so happy here and their growth as dancers has been tremendous!!
