The Santa Clara Ballet School offers classical ballet training for students ages 3 years to Adult. The primary goal of the School is to provide excellent training for those aspiring for a professional career in dance. For the past 35 years, students have received professional, quality instruction combined with personal attention, and many have fulfilled their goals for professional careers in dance.

A significant feature of the school is the individual attention and personal corrections given to students so that they can fully develop their full potential, regardless of their goal to pursue a professional career or not.

Santa Clara Ballet School provides students the valuable opportunity to participate in the Santa Clara Ballet Company's full-length productions with seasoned professionals serving as role models. The experience of performing plays a vital role in the dancer's development as a dance professional.
