BSB Develops the “Whole” Dancer

Artistic expression through dance can take many forms and styles -- not every student will become a classical ballerina.  As students at BSB develop a solid foundation of technique through their ballet training, we encourage our students to broaden their "vocabulary" of dance movement & skills by studying additional dance styles.   For this reason, BSB's class offerings are diverse.  We also look forward to offering Master Classes throughout the year that will give students an opportunity to explore other cultures and styles of dance.

Ballet is the Foundation for ALL Dance

Dance experts worldwide agree that ballet training is the best foundation for anyone interested in dance - regardless of the style they ultimately pursue. Ballet provides discipline, strength, poise and stamina.  It is also the key to developing proper alignment and body placement which is essential in developing strong technique for all styles of dance.  Burbank School of the Ballet not only takes pride in developing strong classical ballet dancers, but in helping all dancers build a solid foundation in proper technique.

Safe and Proper Development is a Priority

Dance, like any sport, can be rigorous and hard on the body at times.  Burbank School of the Ballet’s professional teachers and superb training methods help to develop strong dancers in a structured, yet nurturing environment where proper technique and healthy physical development are of the highest priority.  BSB strongly believes that slow, methodical training is the key to becoming a successful, healthy dancer.  It is BSB's goal to help students develop slowly and safely into strong, capable, well-rounded dancers.
