Summer 2010
The mission of Birmingham Ballet’s Summer Programs is to enrich the lives of aspiring dancers thru expert instruction,  intensive study, and performance opportunities.  We are dedicated to the growth of each dancer in a nurturing atmosphere that inspires excellence and the love of dance.
Does your child have a desire to dance - and excel?  Birmingham Ballet Academy’s structured sequence of training will develop your child’s talent and guide your child towards success.  Our progressive American system focuses on developing well rounded dancers with clean ballet technique adaptable to all forms of dance and choreography.  This aids our students in preparing for wherever their dreams may take them.  Upper level students are trained using an accelerated curriculum that quickly brings marked improvement.  Because of this, our dancers achieve high standards of achievement at an early age.

There is something special about the atmosphere of Birmingham Ballet Academy.   It’s not unusual for people to say “Everyone here is so nice!”  We pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere that is welcoming and caring.  Our dancers thrive in an atmosphere that inspires the pursuit of excellence along with supportive friendships and a healthy self-image.
