WELCOME TO BALLET KALAMAZOO
Founded in 2016, Ballet Kalamazoo is a youth ballet company in Downtown Kalamazoo, in southwest Michigan. Our mission at Ballet Kalamazoo is to focus on teaching a high standard of classical ballet technique while creating a positive and healthy atmosphere of learning.
Ballet Kalamazoo offers children's ballet classes beginning at age 3 and a pre-professional training program through our Ballet Conservatory for the more serious dancer.
Our highly trained instructors are invested in the success of each dancer. Through our love for the art form, experience, and knowledge, Ballet Kalamazoo continues the enduring tradition of Classical Ballet.
Our goal is to honor and teach Classical Ballet while we collectively innovate to be more accessible and inclusive.
Ballet Kalamazoo dancers gain so much more than ballet technique! Ballet Kalamazoo dancers are trained to be artists through goal-setting, dedication, and support of each dancer's individual dreams.
Together, we drive our students to discover they are capable of anything they set their hearts on in the pursuit of personal and artistic excellence.
Join us in our journey to become the next generation of ballet dancers!

BE THE NEXT GENERATION OF BALLET DANCERS

Imagine:
Little dancers tiptoeing on stage to perform in their very first ballet! How do they feel? Excited, hopeful, full of yearning for a future filled with dance, friendship and accomplishment.
It takes more than just grace to become an artist. The path to artistry takes courage and resolve. The artistic journey requires strength of character, focus and GRIT. Every plié, tendu, and pirouette pushes dancers to discover their unique gifts as they explore what they CAN accomplish.
Classic Ballet training prepares for success in anything your little dancers dream of doing. At Ballet Kalamazoo, our dancers pursue excellence individually and as part of a team. From their first steps onstage to a triumphant curtain call, we encourage our dancers to achieve their personal bests by learning from others.
Imagine: The last note of music plays, and the dancers take their bows to the resounding applause of the sold-out audience. The little dancers catch their breaths and take it all in. They did it!
Make your dream more than a wish.
Become a dancer.
