Welcome to The Ballet & Dance Center! Professional faculty, teaching the love of dance to all! We are a state of the art dance facility featuring Harlequin brand sprung dance floors, studio quality sound systems and a fantastic location on Erie Blvd. East (behind Men’s Wearhouse, near Barnes & Noble, across from Marshall’s Plaza).

We are very excited to offer the strongest dance curriculum in the area, which integrates all dance forms. An amazing team of faculty, with an extensive teaching background and years of dance expertise has been assembled. We have a professional training atmosphere that develops the entire student.

Each teacher believes passionately in treating every student with respect and dignity in a supportive, caring and personal environment. Every dancer is unique and we intend to bring each student to his or her fullest potential in these ways: physically, creatively and emotionally. We intend to build not only self esteem, but self awareness.

We will continue to teach the love of dance to all! Our youth classes are divided into three divisions, general, core and open. The General Division is designed for young dancers just beginning their training. The Core Division is for the serious dancer who decides to make more of a commitment to his or her dance training. The Open Division accommodates dancers who still want professional training, but a lighter schedule. Our Dance for Fitness Division for adults offers Body conditioning through Dance, Ballet and Stott Pilates. No experience is necessary! Come try our unique and fun approach to exercise and be sure to leave your inhibitions aside.

Syracuse City Ballet is committed to community outreach, to serving the needs of children, and to diversity within our organization and our audiences.

We create family-oriented entertainment while offering opportunities for local professional, pre-professional, and student dancers to perform classical and premiere works with national and international guest artists

A vibrant arts community encourages collaboration, instills local pride, draws people together, and is essential to a community’s vitality. Syracuse City Ballet contributes to the richness of Central New York’s cultural palette by providing a “big city” ballet presence. Our growth from a small grass-roots venture to a professional company has secured Syracuse City Ballet as an arts presence in Central New York.
