Art is vital · Movement is essential · Dance is pivotal.
Our curriculum is designed to develop strength and flexibility through pure classical technique. Students are introduced to modern & contemporary dance classes at approximately age ten. The Academy offers an eight-year syllabus derived from the Vaganova system of training, which provides a complete movement vocabulary directed in a balanced manner. The academy’s Russian based syllabus is taught in a nurturing environment with an emphasis on injury prevention, overall health, and self-esteem thereby instilling a life-long love of dance. Need-based scholarships are available to any family.
Ballet Taos dancers train with world-renowned faculty to create relevant and inspiring work. We encourage our dancers to give back to their roots, mentor the next generation of dance, honor tradition, and advance progressive ideas in choreography and teaching. In August 2022, we debuted our Summer Company Project. It was an amazing success featuring young professional dancers and pre-professional apprentices. The Company will perform again in August 2023. Stay tuned for more information!
We recognize that times are tough with gas and food prices soaring, and many still reeling from the effects of the pandemic on our community. So please, if you are able, take the time to find the artistic expression that is important to you and extend your generosity. Help keep the arts alive and affordable to everyone.
This program is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
