About The Ballet Academy
The Ballet Academy opened in 1981 under the direction of Alison Miller. The Academy teaches the foundations of Classical Ballet based on the Royal Academy and Vaganova syllabi with emphasis on placement, technique, and musicality. The Academy offers children’s classes through the Youth Division, Adult & Teen Classes, Repertory Classes (we have 2 performing companies) and Summer Intensive Workshops. We offer outreach programs throughout the year at schools, libraries, nursing homes and community events. We participate in 2 theater performances to allow our students the opportunity to work in a professional theater. For details, visit the About the Academy page, or email Alison at stg_am@msn.com.
