Classical & Contemporary Ballet Classes

Offering Los Angeles and the Flintridge communities a quality progressive ballet training program

Core training for every dancer, no matter the students age or any other style of dance one wishes to persue, begins with the fundamentals provided by Classical Ballet. This is why we encourage all our students to attend a base program of this traditional art form. We offer ten levels of classical ballet.

Once a dancer achieves a competent level of ballet training, Contemporary Ballet may provide an essential element of physical freedom and expression. Using a fundemental base of classical ballet, the contemporary ballet dancer is permited a greater range of movement and body lines.

Please take the time to find out about our progressive Classical Ballet Program and our
unique Contemporary Ballet class.

Dare to Dance! – Career Prep Classes

The California DanceArts Career Preparatory Division is designed to fulfill the artistic needs of more experienced dancers who desire opportunities to perform at the highest caliber. Not every dance student processes the desire to become a professional dancer; however, training of a professional caliber ultimately benefits any student. At California DanceArts we believe that professional quality and professionalism should be the product of any school or academy teaching learned skills. For more serious young students who dream of potential careers or for experienced professional dancers currently persuing careers, and who wish to train in this capacity, we created the Career Prep Training Division.

Adult Division Classes

Offering a wide variety of classes for adult dancers, featuring some of L.A.’s most beloved and renowned teachers of Ballet, Modern Jazz, Pilates and more.
