About BALLET ACADEMY

The Ballet Academy, directed by Elissa Colombi Okin, provides students with intensive schooling in classical and modern ballet technique and form. The staff combines the discipline demanded for ballet training with a gentle and caring attitude that is rare in the dance world. We have been offering quality dance and ballet lessons in the Cleveland area for the past 44 years.

Available to students at The Ballet Academy is participation in Ballet Jeunesse, a performing company that presents original works in an annual concert. Ballet Jeunesse allows young advanced-level dancers to experience the joy of performing and the behind-the-scenes rigors of preparing a concert.

Each summer, the Ballet Academy hosts summer classes and a dance camp for young dancers designed to strengthen the skills of serious dance students. Included in the camp curriculum are ballet and other dance forms such as modern, jazz, tap, and hip hop.

The Academy offers ballet classes at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels as well as modern classes.

The Ballet Academy is located in Dance Enterprises, a studio also occupied by Murphy’s Irish Arts offering our students many options in dance training. We are located in Commerce Park, Beachwood so we are conveniently close to many shopping areas, offices, and I-271.
