Elevating Expectations

 

New Ballet is the Resident Ballet Company of the Hammer Theatre. NB performances are vibrant celebrations of dance and fun theatrical experiences for the whole family. Hailed by critics and audience members as “mesmerizing” and “innovative,” New Ballet celebrates the virtuosity of classical ballet and the cathartic power of the performing arts.

New Ballet School (NBS) provides exceptional training for serious pre-professional ballet students. NBS is proud to feature the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum and is one of only five schools nationwide designated as an American Ballet Theatre Certified School.

Training at NBS focuses on developmentally appropriate instruction and dancer health for each student. Our certified teaching staff has decades of experience bringing high quality artistic training to students ranging from 2.5 years to 22 years old.  Our faculty has danced professionally and understands first hand the elements required for an artist's development.

I applaud the commitment of New Ballet to the community of San Jose. The faculty’s passion for the art form of classical ballet is surpassed only by the passion they have for the well-being of the student population, so that each student can achieve his or her maximum potential.
