Welcome to Wise Ballet and Music Academy

We are pleased to offer Wise County and the surrounding area with the highest quality classical ballet instruction available for over 30 years.

From our Creative Dance classes through our advanced levels, our students gain an understanding of proper technique and terminology through the use of age appropriate movement and music. Our classes develop discipline, focus, confidence, and joy in dance. Students have the opportunity to strengthen their bodies and minds as they grow to love the art of classical ballet. The physical strength gained from classical training improves coordination, posture and flexibility.

We strive to provide the highest standards in technical instruction in a structured environment. Students develop the use of French terminology applied to the art of ballet. Students study the history of classical ballet as well as anatomy applied to dance movement, and the principles that govern ballet.

Younger students also study tap to help round out the dancer’s training. Pointe work is added on an individual basis when the instructor feels the student is strong enough, has enough knowledge of proper technique and is old enough. Modern classes and Pilates are added to the more advanced levels to further the development of the dancer’s physical strength and broaden the knowledge of other dance styles.

The goal of study in ballet is performance. Wise Ballet offers the performance opportunities each spring in our full-length production. Every other year we present the Nutcracker in December.

We offer lessons in Piano, Violin, Fiddle, Viola, and Music Theory.
