        About the School

        Boston Ballet School promotes excellence and access to the art form of ballet through dance education.  We offer comprehensive classical ballet training through a progressive curriculum designed for ages 2 through adult.  Our goal is to develop versatile and well-rounded dancers and to provide our students with the immeasurable value of a dance education that extend beyond technique.
        Boston Ballet School has four state-of-the-art locations serving the greater Boston area: Our original home in the South End of Boston, in the MetroWest town of Newton, the South Shore Community of Norwell, and the North Shore Community of Marblehead.  Founded over 53 years ago by E. Virginia Williams, it’s the largest dance school of its kind in North America that consistently provides the highest quality training at every level, in every program through:

        • Internationally renowned faculty
        • Strong ballet curriculum with enrichments in character and modern dance and Pilates conditioning
        • Live piano accompaniment in ballet classes
        • Student Wellness Program in partnership with Children's Hospital, Boston
        • Performing opportunities through The Nutcracker and other productions
        • Unique connection to a world-class company

        Boston Ballet School graduates have gone on to successful careers in various areas.  Many have joined professional dance companies such as Boston Ballet, Cincinatti Ballet, Ballet Austin, Houston Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, North Carolina Dance Theatre, Pennsylvania Ballet, National Ballet of Canada and Hamburg Ballet, while others pursue academic careers at Harvard University, Boston College, Indiana University and Stanford among others.
