Gulfshore Ballet

Gulfshore Ballet is Southwest Florida’s premier not-for-profit school of Classical Ballet. The school has an internationally acclaimed teaching faculty and offers area students the unique opportunity to study with professional instructors of the highest caliber. The training at Gulfshore Ballet combines Cuban, American, and Russian technique and brings a quality of excellence not normally found outside major metropolitan cities. Classical Ballet is one of the most beautiful yet arduous art forms. Time and commitment from both student and instructor are prerequisite to the realization of the true benefits of classical ballet. Correct instruction begun at the appropriate age is critical to the development of ballet dancers. The developmental transformation of a young child into a self-confident artist is the most rewarding part of ballet training. As the novice dancer pursues control over mind and body, the child discovers the true beauty of the art form. Our philosophy is to develop and support each dancer’s personal goals as they develop throughout their programs of study.
