The study of dance requires continuity; Coast City Ballet~Pacific Dance Center offers a full range of graded classes, from
pre-ballet to pre-professional training. We provide a unique opportunity for students of all ages and abilities to study the
traditions and discipline of classical ballet. We also incorporate other styles of dance into our curriculum to ensure that
students are able to adapt to different dance and choreographic techniques.
.
We believe, as Balanchine did, that the quality of ballet instruction is as important as the quantity, this philosophy is followed
by some of the most prestigious schools in the United States. Whether a student's goal is a career in dance or dancing
purely for recreation, our staff offers personal attention and professional training to match each student's interests.
