The Vision

​

Our vision is to create a world where everyone shares our love for the classical art of dance. We have witnessed first hand how dance builds character, confidence, and friendships. We seek to inspire, enrich, and educate while creating an encouraging and positive atmosphere. Students at ACBA learn self-discipline and teamwork while gaining self-esteem. We strive to provide exceptional instruction and leadership to our students and instill the importance of etiquette and manners.

The Mission

Anchorage Classical Ballet Academy was established in the fall of 1997 to preserve the art of classical dance while providing professional instruction to aspiring professionals and recreational dancers in the community of Anchorage, Alaska and beyond.
