What We Do
Innovative & Inspirational Performances
Ballet Pensacola presents four major productions each season: a fall show, The Nutcracker in December, a winter show, and a spring show. Along with the four major productions, Ballet Pensacola gets involved with the community by performing in schools, area festivals, and special events.
World Class Training
The Ballet Pensacola Academy consists of a Pre-Primary Division and a Training Division. The Pre-Primary Division is for students ages 3-6 and the Training Division is for students ages 7-18. Students are taught though their most crucial years to be creative, disciplined, and technical dancers. Valuable teachings such as theory, steps, terminology, lessons, and combinations are placed into a student's training at the appropriate time of their growth as dancers. This careful balance and progression of skill is designed to advance students forward at a quality level and prepare dancers for life in the ballet world while also creating valuable life skills that students take with them beyond their training.
