The Vermont Ballet Theater
School provides students with a choice of professional
and non-professional dance training and performance experience
in a friendly and nurturing environment; guiding and educating
students through the real world of ballet. We believe
that ballet improves confidence, coordination and concentration
through memorization and disciplined movement. The creativity,
grace and love of dance will enhance your child’s
life forever. Our faculty appreciates the opportunity
to share the excitement, challenge and beauty of dance.
