Ballet Schools in Georgia - Central

[Lexie]

Hey. So I've been dancing since I was 6 but only this past year did I really become serious about pursuing a career in ballet (I know kin of late!). I switched studios this year and found out that I really like ballet a lot and want to be more involved in it. This upcoming year I'm hoping to be taking a bunch more ballet and technique classes but I'm not sure that my current studio can help me with that. So I was just wandering if their were any really good ballet centers in Georgia, preferably central Georgia (I live about 30min north of Atlanta). Thanks in advance! And sorry if this is in the wrong forum I just didn't know where to put it!

Green Jelly Bean thank you for trying to be so helpful but please remember to allow a Moderator to answer prior to a general member. I am sure Ms. Leigh will answer as soon as she is able. I am not familiar with the area around Atlanta. Ms Leigh may have some very helpful advice indeed.

Sorry, I'm not trying to rival the power of the Mods, I was just giving a suggestion.

Yes, I would suggest that you look at the Atlanta Ballet's Centre for Dance Education. Depending on where you are, there is also a school in Alpharetta, bordering Roswell, called The Dancers Studio. It is the home of the Atlanta Dance Theatre. (I also teach there. )

 

If you are in Marietta, Atlanta Ballet has a satellite school out there, somewhere in Cobb Co. Not sure exactly where. But, when you reach the pre-pro division, you will need to go the downtown studio.

[Lexie]

Okay, thank you so much! I will look into those places soon. Let me know if you know of any more!

Lexie, please stop changing the font and use the default. The one you are choosing is very small.

[Lexie]

Sorry! It didn't show up that small on my computer I guess, I will remember that in future post.

There is also a studio in Alpharetta called Metropolitan Ballet Theater. My daughter has taken class there a few times. There is also another small school in Warner Robins, but that may be too far.

 

Best wishes!

Knock, Knock, I attempted to send a PM to Lexie but her box is full. Two of my daughter's teachers attended the Ruth Mitchell school in Marietta GA. I believe they are a SERBA Honor company. Both of these teachers are fantastic dancers who have had professional careers.

 

I'm sorry I know I am not supposed to post on the youth board.

[Lexie]

Thank you trythis. I looked them up and they look great and the studio isn't to far away.

trythis, it's okay, we are not on the YD forum here. It's the Career and Education Forum that we are on here And, the reason you could not PM Lexie is because she still a New Member, and New Members do not have PM privileges.

Also Georgia Youth Ballet located in Fayetteville, GA.

Thanks Ms Leigh, I guess sometimes I start wandering around and forget where I am!

There is also Roswell Dance Theatre & a studio called Dan and Company where you can focus on ballet but also have the option to take other styles of dance.
