West Hills Ballet is a blossoming dance school inspired by Marie Morrow’s career performing modern dance in New York City and teaching Royal Academy of Dance in Brooklyn for 10+ years with Cobble Hill Ballet, Berkeley Ballet Theatre and Shawl Anderson Dance Center. The philosophy of West Hills Ballet is focused on creativity and artistic exploration to music, getting to know oneself better, and moving in community while still learning proper alignment and strong technique. It is our goal to prioritize joy over competition. Humans have danced together since before the development of language and WHB’s mission is to bring the experience of movement to daily life practice, reveling in our own unique artistic voice.

Class level age should be measured by how old a student is/was starting September of 2024. Feel free to email if you have questions about which level is the right fit, making sure they are learning material appropriate for their age and body can make such a big difference in enjoyment ~ [email protected]
