Our founder and principal faculty trained under the guidance of the world’s greatest ballet masters at School of American Ballet. After training, they enjoyed successful careers performing with the New York City Ballet — one of the foremost dance companies in the world, with a corps of spectacular dancers and an unparalleled repertory. Our ballet teachers bring that prized philosophy and technical mastery to Charleston.

Many young dancers have to leave home to find the best dance training the country has to offer. In addition to its own best-in-class faculty, Dance Conservatory of Charleston delivers unmatched Master Classes and performing opportunities right here at home through visiting instruction with preeminent teaching faculty.
