The Nevada Ballet Theatre introduces you and your family to the art of ballet dancing through many facets. Sure, you can watch one or more of the breathtaking performances, but if you are more interested in learning the in’s and out’s of ballet, join the poised and graceful dancers as they involve and educate you on this beautiful artistic movement.

Classes include jazz, tap, ballet, modern and character dance and hip-hop. Additional programs for adults include Pilates, jazzercise and adult ballet. For children, joining The Academy offers the opportunity to be selected for the youth theatre company. Additional classes are offered in steps for children based on age and skill level.

If your child is interested in learning to dance or enhancing their skills, the following classes may be of interest: Me and Mum, Creative Movement, Beginning Ballet, Intermediate Ballet, Pointe, Fencing and much more. And don’t leave out the boys. There is even a boys class that focuses on building strength and power.

If your children are looking for something to do during summer break, the Creative Dance Camp may be for them. Children ages three to four and five to eight are eligible to enroll in this camp. Through the Creative Dance Camp, children learn creative movement, singing, arts and crafts and storytelling. With these newly identified skills, your kids will perform scenes from the children’s classic Peter Pan and the Jungle Book.

For kids who are more involved in ballet, they may be interested in auditioning for a spot in the Summer Intensive Program. This is a three week training session developed to strengthen the skills of dancers who are interested in pursuing a dancing career.
