NEW CLASSES!! We are excited to announce that we are adding Junior and Teen Flex classes to our schedule for the 2026/2027 school year.

We understand that some students may have one year where their schedules do not align with our recommended ballet level for their advancement. Or, some dancers simply want to enjoy ballet without the intensity of a pre-professional commitment and schedule. Both flex classes offer the option to sign up per class, per semester, or per year!

Junior Flex (ages 9 - 12): Saturdays 9:30 - 12, Eligible to be cast as Mice in The San Jose Nutcracker

Teen Flex (ages 12 - 15): Tuesdays 7 - 8:30pm, Eligible to be cast as Lady Dragonfly in the San Jose Nutcracker
