About — Neighborhood Ballet | Atlanta Dance Studio

NEIGHBORHOOD

BALLET

A safe and enchanting space to discover the magic of dance.

At Neighborhood Ballet, we believe in inspiring, developing, and bolstering a love for dance in every student. We offer exceptional and joy-filled training in various styles for dancers 18 months to 80 years across four studio locations in the metro Atlanta area — Ormewood Park, Grant Park, and Northlake Village! In addition to classes, we offer camps, special dance-inspired events, and birthday parties!

Dance truly is a way of life and its lessons extend far beyond the studio’s walls and barres — the confidence built, friendships forged, dreams awakened, creativity unleashed, and so much more — all of this shapes lives and futures outside the studio.

With our comprehensive and intentional curriculum, remarkable faculty, and nurturing community, we aim to uplift the next generation of dancers, dreamers, and doers and launch them closer to their greatest aspirations.

Our Values

Lead with Love

Love is the baseline from which we operate. We are all incredibly passionate about what we do and strive each and every day to contribute to an atmosphere that is INCLUSIVE, SAFE, NURTURING, and a place our dancers get the warm and fuzzies just thinking about!

Shine Bright

It could be a sweet smile, a word of encouragement, or a small act of kindness that goes a long way — we stand by lifting each other up every chance we get! We uphold an environment of KINDNESS and GENEROSITY because we know its much easier to shine bright when we do so together.

Uphold Excellence

For us, excellence is not only related to the quality of training we offer, but also how we choose to show up as community members, leaders, advocators, and educators. We believe in open and clear communication, prioritizing the well-being of our community, and offering exceptional training for all.

Share Your Talent

By sharing our light and giving all we have to offer, we can encourage others to do the same. When we say talent, we don’t simply mean the technical talent that can be found in the studio, we believe each individual has a unique set of talents that is worthy of sharing far and wide. We encourage our faculty, community, and dancers to share their gifts so that we can all grow and learn together.

Stay Focused

We enter the studio with clarity, intention, and dedication to our community and this art form we all hold so near and dear to our hearts. Each day is a reminder of the unique opportunity we have to share our knowledge and experience with the next generation and this is something we never want to take for granted.
