Alberta Ballet School

Since its inception in 1991, Alberta Ballet School is one of the leading dance schools in Canada. It is a private school that delivers on-site, traditional classroom programmes. Ashley McNeil is an artistic principal of the school, and every year the school opens for more than 1000 local and international students.

The school offers many different options for students of all ages and levels from preschool to professional, such as sessional, full-year, and summer programmes. There are various ways of dance: ballet, jazz, contemporary and modern dance at professionals or open divisions. Students learn in a warm and positive environment under high-quality acclaimed academic staff, and at the same time, students have practice with the ballet's artistic staff. Every year the school organizes Alberta Ballet productions where students have avenues to dance in.
