4worldlovers:
It is our desire and our goal to build a dancer with a beautiful spirit within and without.


We believe in the art of discipline, work ethic, focus, creativity and support of one another.

We encourage both the self-confidence that frees a child to be inquisitive and the discipline essential for learning.


Here at Deane Dance Center we understand that ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Therefore, ballet needs to be a key component in every student's dance vocabulary. From preschool through high school and beyond, Deane Dance Center offers age-appropriate ballet classes for girls and boys of every skill level.


Our expert faculty inspires and encourages students to develop their potential by training them in a nurturing ballet environment that is fun and exciting. We work to achieve each child's individual goals whether the student is new to the world of dance and music or pursuing a career in the arts.

Our advanced students go on to great success at some of the most prestigious companies, universities and schools, including Pacific Northwest Ballet, Texas Ballet Theater, Houston Ballet, Madison Ballet, Ballet West, San Francisco Ballet, Ballet X, National Ballet of Canada, Los Angeles Ballet, Columbia City Ballet, Nashville Ballet​, Carolina Ballet, University of Utah, University of California - Irvine, University of California - Santa Barbara, Harvard, Princeton and many more.

Deane Dance Center and Sac Civic Ballet were founded by Barbara Crockett (founder of the Sacramento Ballet) and her daughter and son-in-law, San Francisco Ballet dancers Allyson Deane and Don Schwennesen. Ms. Crockett's 70+ year legacy is continued in Deane Dance Center by producing dancers with sublime technique, work ethic, compassion and professional standards. Since 1994, the school has won many nationally recognized awards, including our most recent award from Regional Dance America/Pacific (RDA/P) for an original choreographed ballet.

From ages 3.5 through 19 years old and adult, our dancers are taught from a syllabus developed by Deane and Barbara Crockett that combines the best of different techniques, including Cecchetti and Vaganova.

Opportunities for more accomplished dancers include the Judson Project, which is an advanced training tool for the serious dancer, and a chance to participate in the nonprofit Sac Civic Ballet Company. Guest teachers and master classes are also included in our curriculum. Annual ballet performances highlighting dancers from the school and the pre-professional company also include professional dancers from around the world. In addition, adult level classes are available for ballet, jazz, dance conditioning and Pilates.

To our students, thank you for having the faith in our dance method, our culture and the local dance community! You’ve all created the most wonderful energy in our space making it a place people look forward to coming to.

We went from holding classes in the dead of winter inside a warehouse, to sharing a campus with the Atrium 916, and now having our longterm home. In early 2017, this place was just a dream. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
