ABOUT THE SCHOOL

Ballet V2 from David Kuznicki on Vimeo.

As a Non-Profit Organization offering a curriculum whose cornerstone is classical ballet, Toledo Ballet also includes a contemporary and adult division, and classes for those with special needs. We present Summer Intensive classes conducted by internationally known instructors from all over the country, and offer thematically based Summer Camp programs for aspiring ballerinas.

Master Classes are taught by a wide variety of professional dancers from all over the country and we offer scholarship opportunities to eligible students.

The Toledo Ballet offers all students individual attention no matter the reason they dance. What makes Toledo Ballet unique is without a doubt our faculty. Every Toledo Ballet instructor is dedicated to helping every student reach his or her highest potential through individualized instruction. Our instructors have professional dance experience – experience that is invaluable when guiding and supporting the dreams of young dancers.

The Toledo Ballet offers successful training done by uniquely talented faculty, under the direction of Lisa Mayer Lang. Lisa is a professor of dance in the prestigious Musical Theatre Department at the University of Michigan.

We believe learning ballet – or any form of dance – is so much more than mastering positions and memorizing steps. It is also about gaining confidence and self-esteem. Learning discipline and perseverance. Most of all, it is about getting caught up in the sheer joy that only dance can bring. We invite you to find that joy for yourself or your student and join us for a class or two.
