Directed by Miss Chara Mock, our Ballet Academy performance program offers an inspiring, high-caliber stage experience open to all dancers ages 8 and older. This season features two full productions: our popular holiday favorite, The Cajun Nutcracker, followed by our Spring Performance showcasing selections from classical ballet repertoire. Dancers have the unique opportunity to explore both acting and dance roles, helping them build stage presence, character work, and technical precision. Designed to accommodate busy schedules, all rehearsals are efficiently held over just 4 to 5 Sundays leading up to each show. Join us and experience a fun & amazing opportunity while making lifetime memories!
