Best Ballet School Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers:
OBS offers classical ballet training to all students from pre-ballet to the pre-professional level. We strive to provide a welcoming environment and an encouraging atmosphere to learn ballet through musicality, artistic expression, coordination, and technique.

The Oakland Ballet School has found a new home! Starting Fall 2019, we will be located at 3966 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, CA 94611.

Saturday, December 22 was our last day of full classes at our beloved studio on MacArthur Blvd. A lot of great art, beautiful memories, and lasting friendships were created in that studio. The Ballet School, formerly the Oakland Ballet Academy, was founded in 1968 as the official school of the Oakland Ballet Company under the direction of Ronn Guidi. The Academy moved to the location on MacArthur in 1973 and became the home to both the company and academy, where dance luminaries came to set ballet masterpieces such as Billy the Kid, Les Biches, Les Noces, Afternoon of a Faun, Scheherezade, and The Green Table – to name a few. Joral and I have spent more than two-thirds of our lives training, dancing, and teaching in that space, which makes this a bittersweet end to this chapter in the history of the school. We are, however, hopeful and excited for what the next chapter will bring.

4worldlovers: This is the founding principle of Tutu School. We believe that motor skill development is infinitely enhanced by Tchaikovsky and Bach, that young imaginations benefit immensely from exploring the enchanted worlds of swans and sugar plums, and that twirling should be a fundamental part of any childhood.

Membership could not be easier and more convenient, and registration is always ongoing!We also offer free trial classes if your child would like to experience our school before enrolling full time.

Not only is Tutu School the perfect place to introduce little dancers to the world of ballet—it is the perfect business opportunity for those looking for storybook adventures of their own.
