Welcome to Rejoice School of Ballet.
Rejoice School of Ballet trains dancers from ages 4-18 in the art of classical ballet and other dance disciplines. At Rejoice, students from all backgrounds can step up to the barre with confidence, explore their creativity, and discover their limitless potential in an inclusive and uplifting environment. Because we believe every child deserves to access the lifelong benefits of dance education, we offer sliding-scale tuition, need-based scholarships, and free ballet uniforms and costumes to our students. Under the guidance and mentorship of our dedicated teaching professionals, our students challenge themselves and develop fundamental skills that prepare them for careers on or off the stage. Whether students go on to pursue a dance career or not, the skills, resilience, and friendships they make along the way at Rejoice will last them a lifetime.
Discover how Rejoice can help your child grow, find their joy, and reach their potential.
