Roanoke Ballet Theatre

Roanoke Ballet Theatre is dedicated to the heritage, development and promotion of dance.

Our Purpose is to: Offer excellent dance instruction in a diverse range of styles and levels. Create and sustain a challenging artistic environment. Provide a variety of performing opportunities for dancers. Offer our community a variety of opportunities to experience dance.
Our Philosophy: As a community organization, Roanoke Ballet Theatre is serving the needs of the public. Our services, classes and performances are accessible to all who are interested in dance. We also strive to create an appreciation of the art form by seeking out new audiences. In keeping with our vision we try to maintain moderate tuition prices. The teaching philosophy at Roanoke Ballet Theatre embraces a holistic approach. Each student is regarded as a "whole" person, and not just a dancer needing technical training. A skilled and dedicated staff implements this approach to learning with emphasis on strengthening the students' minds and imaginations, as well as their bodies. A positive attitude, good nutrition, teamwork, creativity, and challenging oneself are important components of instruction. By fostering the art of dance, in its various forms, we hope to enrich and empower students, performers and audience members.
