Curriculum

Ballet Arts Academy students are taught from the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet curriculum. A proven curriculum developed by renowned Founder Marcia Dale Weary. The curriculum progresses students incrementally and prepares them for success in the dance world and beyond. Our teachers our trained in this curriculum which focuses on perfecting ballet technique, body placement, building physical strength, and developing artistry.

At Ballet Arts Academy we recognize the deep power of training, education and character. These values are immeasurable when producing the next generation of ballet artists, along with the next generation of citizens. Here, we seek not only to educate potential dancers, we seek to grow our student’s character and life skills that will help them succeed both in the dance world and in life.
