Committed to preserving the art of classical ballet, enriching the community through the beauty of ballet, and impacting young lives through the discipline of dance


The Art of Ballet Instruction

Meet the Faculty

It is our joy to be a part of so many young peoples’ lives. Knowing a child from the age of four through high school and helping him/her develop as a classical dancer is an amazing privilege. We strive to do an excellent job in training our students. The faculty participates in ongoing teacher training, meeting regularly to discuss curriculum and teaching strategies. Fostering a caring environment where healthy friendships can be formed and maintained is also an important part of The Esther Center. As our students become accomplished dancers, we hope to instill self-discipline and self-respect, a sense of cooperation instead of competition, and a love of dance and confidence in themselves as young artists. As we help our students build graceful, strong, supple bodies and clear, critically thinking minds, it is our hope that they would learn to honor God in all He gives them to do. Thank you for entrusting your child’s dance training to us. It is truly our purpose to train dancers in an excellent and joyful way so as to bring glory to God.
