Wilmington Ballet Academy of the Dance

Founded in 1956, Wilmington Ballet Academy of the Dance is one of the oldest surviving ballet schools in the tri-state area and comes from a long line of classical ballet tradition. The Academy is dedicated to providing superior classical ballet training to foster discipline, confidence, and poise to students of all ages in the Wilmington area. Since 1967, the annual Nutcracker performance at the historic DuPont Theatre provides our students the opportunity to perform with world-class artists and live music. Instruction is provided for all levels from Pre-Ballet through adult classes, including Pilates and Zumba.
