Scottsdale School of Ballet

Scottsdale School of Ballet A quality ballet school located in the Scottsdale Airpark featuring master ballet teachers and training for students from age 4 through pre-professional.

About
Directors Sibylle Acatos-Dadey and Donald Dadey's, love of ballet compelled them to open Scottsdale Dance Academy —now Scottsdale School of Ballet —in 2003. Throughout the years, SSB has developed a curriculum that is focused on building technical strength, flexibility, and a love of dance, as well as nurturing artistic development. While the school’s programs are designed with the serious b

allet student in mind, SSB attracts students of all ages, with varying degrees of interest and talent, who wish to pursue dance instruction in an inspiring, enriched learning environment. Our school’s Program consists of Elementary, Junior, and Pre-Professional divisions. Each is intended to challenge students and support their physical, artistic and emotional development consistent with that level. Classes promote a focus on clarity of position and quality of movement, to help strengthen and perfect ballet technique. For more information on our currilculum, go to the Curriculum Page. As the directors have again engaged a world class faculty for this year, our hope is that each student will excell in their level. We offer a Recreational Program for the upper level studnets as well as an Adult Program, for those who wish to develop strength, and flexibility without too demanding of a schedule. Please go to the links at the left for information on class levels and times or to see directions to our studio in Contact. We encourage everyone to sign up for the Scottsdale School of Ballet newsletter. The newsletter is a great way to stay updated with the latest news, performances, schedules and events. In addition to the solid dance curriculum Scottsdale School of Ballet offers various performance opportunities to our students.
