Why ballet? Some Benefits of Classical Ballet Training

The School of Ballet is comprised of artists and educators who have devoted lifetimes to the Art of Ballet. Asking such individuals “why ballet?” gives one pause: as if asking “why breathe?” We are all very dedicated to what we do and look forward to sharing the benefits of classical ballet with you and your family.

Bringing Art to the Everyday

Anneliese von Oettingen saw the value of bringing art to everyday. She believed art needs to be experienced, and experienced fully. When she began her school of ballet in 1948, she aspired to instill a love of storytelling through movement; she wanted to make artistic expression accessible and meaningful.
