THE SCHOOL OF THE GEORGIA BALLET
The School of The Georgia Ballet's primary focus is on classical ballet, but also offers classes in tap, modern dance, jazz, and hip hop. The school serves both the recreational dancer, as well as the applied student, for whom ballet performance is a career goal. The school also has a thriving open adult program with classes in a fun and relaxed environment.
