Arc School of Ballet's mission is to provide unparalleled classical ballet training in an encouraging atmosphere, thus promoting personal growth and artistic self–expression. Contributing a wealth of knowledge to the school, the professional faculty at Arc are dedicated to dance education and instilling invaluable qualities in their students that extend beyond their dance training: self–confidence, respect, work ethic and a sense of tradition. Arc School of Ballet shares common goals with its resident professional dance company, ARC Dance Productions, to provide opportunities for the public to explore the joy and beauty of dance.
Arc School of Ballet and ARC Dance Company occupy over 12,000 square feet of the former Crown Hill School in the Ballard/Crown Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Abundant parking surrounding the building is free and many Seattle Metro bus routes pass within walking distance.
Arc School of Ballet offers four programs of exceptional quality to dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Focusing on elements of both classical and contemporary ballet technique, the core curriculum is complimented by other dance forms such as Modern, Jazz, and African, along with Pilates, Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis TM conditioning. The variety of classes works to meet students' varying interests in dance, ranging from beginning to adult education/fitness to the professional career bound.
