From the reviews
What a gem! Wonderful ballet company, run like a family. I have 3 kiddos in OBT & they have grown so much through the almost 2 years. I love that they do ballet so they can perform. It's not practice for the sake of practice. I hear they may start offering classes for parents, too.
The only dance school dedicated to Vaganova ballet style and where the dance education is based on full run ballet performances which is very like a professional ballet theater . Rigorous, holistic, and fulfiling education! Thank you for chosing NWA for your hime base!
Terrific ballet school. Katie and David are phenomenal and the kids love them. And it awesome that the kids are always prepping for actual live professional performances. So. cool.
If you are looking for training in REAL professional ballet, then you have won the Jackpot! Ozark ballet theater is the place where your child will be taught ballet by the most highly qualified ballet teachers who continue their professional activities by performing on stage.
Your first ballet class at Ozark Ballet Theater
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
