The Nutcracker
Oakley Ballet Center
In teaching ballet, Oakley Ballet Center blends both traditional and new styles of dance. Our teachers use the best of these techniques in order to create versatile, well-balanced, and knowledgeable dancers. We strive not only to create disciplined, well-trained dancers, but to consider the whole child. We hope that through our training students will learn to apply the tools of their art to all aspects of their lives. We value children as unique individuals and encourage students to share with us their achievements outside ballet.
