ABOUT
The School of Greensboro Ballet is the Triad’s only not-for-profit classical ballet school.  As such, we are not motivated by commercial gain, but rather by offering the finest in dance education to our students.  Regardless of whether a student wishes to pursue dance as a career, or participate for personal development and enjoyment, we are committed to offering each student an education in dance that is based on the traditions of classical ballet around the world.

Our students are enrolled in classes that are suitable for their individual stage of development.  We offer a carefully researched curriculum of study that prepares our students for acceptance at any major ballet school anywhere.  While gaining a strong foundation in classical ballet, the students have taught us that they also gain a strong foundation in life skills.  Our students take pride in their ever expanding abilities to manage their time well, to follow instructions, to be focused, self-disciplined, to be prompt, to be creative problem solvers and to offer the gift of performance to audiences.  While we are always pleased to see students go off to enjoy success in the dance world, we are equally delighted and committed to helping them succeed in other fields.  Many of our students have become successful doctors, lawyers, teachers, producers, actors, singers, computer programmers, scientists, and mothers and fathers.  They often tell us the discipline, the organizational skills and other thinking skills they learned at the SGB have helped them succeed in life.

We look forward to working with your child in our school.  We know we have the best to offer in dance education here and we are honored that you have chosen the School of Greensboro Ballet.

HOW TO REGISTER
Students are registered when their registration form is returned to the Greensboro Ballet offices either by hand or by mail accompanied with their registration fee. (Sorry, no telephone reservations accepted.)

If you are new to Greensboro Ballet and are looking to see what class your dancer might fit into, please use the following as a guide:

Prospective students, who are 7 years old and up and are looking at Greensboro Ballet with the thought of possibly studying with us, should speak to the School Director, John Dennis, to arrange a sample class so that the student and parent would have the opportunity to see what Greensboro Ballet is like before registering.

Jazz students must be at least 9 years old.

If a student is interested in going “en pointe”, the student must take one year of Pre-Pointe work, usually at age 11 or 12.  Students usually go “en pointe” at age 12 or 13.
