LETTER FROM THE

S C H O O L D I R E C TO R

Currently, two-thirds of Orlando Ballet’s professional company are graduates of OBII’s professional training program, a clear endorsement of the strength of Orlando Ballet School and its curriculum. As someone who began their professional dance career with early childhood training, I understand the expectations of students and their families who seek and invest in the highest quality dance education. Orlando Ballet School has matured to become one of the nation’s top training institutions for students who are intent on and willing to work toward a life as a professional ballet dancer.

Our diverse team of professional dance instructors and a thoughtfully designed curriculum provide relevant and life-long skills through discipline, routine and good old-fashioned hard work. Our intent has been to develop a pathway of possibility for trainees and specifically in the direction of Orlando Ballet’s professional dance company, an objective of significant importance to Artistic Director Jorden Morris.

The reasons for our success are many and include instruction by our prestigious artistic staff, as well as our ability to host a diverse group of guest teachers such as Giovanni Villalobos, Caroline Gruber and Robyn Shifren. The curriculum is fortified by a masters level teaching dynamic, daily cross-training before class, a broad variety of genres, and our remarkable summer intensive programs, which consistently have a very long waitlist due to the demand.

Training for a professional dance career, and especially in ballet, is demanding, requires a real commitment and takes everything you’ve got to advance to the professional stage.

Orlando Ballet School has established itself for its superior training and even more so for creating opportunity.
