About this studio
Anchorage Classical Ballet Academy has taught classical ballet in Anchorage since 1997. The school operates four studios and serves over 200 students across 68+ weekly classes, offering instruction for dancers as young as 16 months through to adults.
The curriculum combines three classical methods: Vaganova, Cecchetti, and RAD. Class placement is careful—students are assessed and placed according to age, talent, attitude, and musicality. The academy serves both pre-professional students aiming for a professional career and recreational students looking to stay fit or try dance for the first time. Private lessons are available alongside group classes, scheduled to suit your timetable.
Teachers at ACBA bring wide experience across multiple disciplines. The school emphasises a constructive, positive, family-friendly environment focused on performance experience as integral to a dancer's development. Students learn self-discipline and teamwork while building confidence and self-esteem. The academy believes performance opportunities help children express themselves and become comfortable presenting in front of an audience.
Scholarships are available for students demonstrating talent and financial need. The academy is funded in part by the Municipality of Anchorage, the Alaska Arts and Culture Foundation, Manning Family Foundation, Rasmuson Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Parents note the value of small class sizes, serious teachers, and careful organisation.
