About Toledo Ballet
Core principles from the ABT (American Ballet Theatre) National Training Curriculum serve as the foundation to Toledo Ballet's instruction and provides training support for teachers to lead students “to use their bodies correctly by focusing on kinetics, coordination, anatomy, and proper body alignment.” Toledo Ballet faculty bring a wide range of training and experience from a variety of ballet philosophies for a well-rounded dance education. Students advance through levels Pre-Primary through Level 6/7 in a safe and structured way.
