The Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet was established in 1974 to train students who wish to study the art of ballet and who also demand the very best dance training available. All Academy students, regardless of age or interest, receive the same high quality training whether enrolled in the Regular or Adult Division. Students who are interested in pursuing a career in classical ballet are offered classes providing the technical and artistic skills required to pursue this dream. Many Academy graduates are dancing professionally in ballet companies throughout the world, and several have won high honors in international and national competitions.
