The Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet, the official school of Oklahoma City Ballet, is now enrolling for the 2014-15 school year – August 18, 2014 through May 21, 2015.  Students joining us this year will be taught in a positive atmosphere by professional instructors at Oklahoma’s only American Ballet Theatre® Certified School.

Students will share the same facility with Oklahoma City Ballet’s professional company dancers, giving them daily opportunities to observe company classes and rehearsals.  Dance Center of OKCB students will also have the opportunity to audition for the youth performing company Oklahoma City Youth Ballet, the all new production of The Nutcracker presented by Devon Energy, and other OKC Ballet full length productions.

Classes offered by the Dance Center of OKCB include Pre-Ballet, Ballet, Pointe, Variations, Pre-Professional training, Ballet Boys, Jazz, Modern, Adult Beginner and Intermediate, as well as Mommy & Me for ages 2-3 and Ballet Discovery for ages 3-5.

Students are taught in a safe, nurturing environment accompanied by professional pianists with the newly incorporated American Ballet Theatre® National Training Curriculum.  Under the direction of American Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie, this curriculum was developed and written by Franco de Vita and Raymond Lukens, in collaboration with American Ballet Theatre’s Artistic Advisors and a Medical Advisory Board.  It embraces sound ballet principles and incorporates elements of the French, Italian and Russian training systems.  This curriculum helps provide a safe and fun learning environment and allows the students to experience a feeling of mastery in each level.
