Florida Ballet Arts
commitment to excellence since 1962
OUR MISSION
To train students to their full potential, while building self esteem and supplying them
with valuable skills needed to pursue any path in life.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
It is our belief that anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Because you have chosen our team, we assume you hold the same belief. Whether a student is training for a professional career in dance or just dances for the love of the art, we believe in giving the very best training and preparation to each student.
Our students learn discipline, proper technique, terminology and theory, classroom etiquette, backstage theater etiquette, self responsibility, and develop artistic abilities for performing in addition to their physical conditioning.
The rewards of proper training are priceless. The training and consultation students receive from our faculty is unparalleled, supplying them with the discipline, focus, work ethic, life skills and preparation needed to pursue any career or academic path.
