About
Orlando Ballet School offers training in ballet, contemporary, and jazz, along with workshops and masterclasses. The program also includes Fitness & Dance Classes, adult fitness classes, a Balanchine Masterclass Weekend, a Spring Break Camp, and a Half-Day Jr. Dance Camp.
• Ages: 1–18 years old
• Price: There is a $40 placement/audition fee for all new students seeking placement or returning students who did not have continuous enrollment.
The school’s mission states that dancers cultivate artistry, technique, and joy, and that students receive an education of the highest caliber grounded in the belief that dance is for everyone. Many instructors are American Ballet Theatre–certified or trained in distinguished European methodologies, and students and faculty are trained with the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum. The program includes a Preparatory Training Center for children starting as early as 18 months through the teenage years, a Youth Dance Program for ages 8–18 with ballet and other classical dance training, and an Academy for students who audition and are ready for rigorous ballet study toward a professional career. Orlando Ballet is described as Central Florida’s only professional ballet company, and OBII (Orlando Ballet Second Company) is the highest level of Orlando Ballet School, bridging the Trainee Program and the professional company, with dancers receiving a full tuition scholarship and stipend; two-thirds of the professional company are OBII alumni.
The leadership team includes Christopher Alloways-Ramsey as Director of Education, Amyia Burrell as Head of Young Dancer Program, Natasha Glos as Principal Teacher & Principal Coach, Gonzalo Espinoza as Choreographer & Principal Teacher, and an Artistic Director (title referenced, name not provided). The program provides community outreach engagements reaching over 50,000 local residents annually. Parent and participant testimonials describe professional and talented instructors and staff, experiences in the Academy and Summer Intensive, support for a student with Down syndrome, positive experiences in adult fitness classes, and donor support for Orlando Ballet’s education and community connection.
