About

Dream Ballet School seeks to offer outstanding ballet education in a nurturing environment, through a progressive curriculum from pre-ballet to pre-professional levels.

We believe that a ballet education should foster individual growth and supply a foundation, not only for the various artistic forms of dance but for many of life's pursuits: cultivating discipline, professionalism, confidence, teamwork, perseverance, self care, passion and joy.

We aim to provide this life shaping experience to anyone who has the passion and dedication to pursue it

​

Dream Ballet School is proud to include the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough 9 level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels. Pre-Primary through Level 3 will be taught by ABT® Certified Teacher, Emily Zimmermann Gilstrap, who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive in Pre-Primary through Level 3 of the ABT® National Training Curriculum.
