EL CAMINO BALLET
The Ballet Way
Ballet Education with a hybrid approach:
Russian Vaganova method with an American mentality
What We Provide
Year-Round Training
Every class is carefully designed to challenge each student's technique and flexibility. Students learn to think for themselves and that their motivation comes from striving to improve and be better. To understand the importance of musicality when taking a class, and that it is essential to progress as a dancer.
Performances
Performances are a vital part of a student's training. Without stage experience, the training is incomplete. We aim to give our students opportunities to perform in various venues, giving them the experience and confidence needed for a professional career.
Private Coaching
One-to-one coaching with specified corrections to each dancer. Emphasizing the style and character of the role, with an understanding of the story in preparation for performances and competitions.
Master Class Series
Expanding a dancer's repertoire with once-a-month master classes from world-renowned dancers from ballet companies (i.e., SF Ballet, ABT, Mariinsky) to hip-hop professionals and more.
Why El Camino Ballet?
Ballet shows us the strength and possibilities we didn't know we had. The name means "The Ballet Way" - El Camino Real is the longest road in California, running 600 miles from San Diego all the way up through the state. It's the one road that connects all of California - you can find El Camino Real in every city. We chose that name because it represents the ballet way - everyone has their own road in ballet, their own ballet journey.

The respect for tradition and the previous generations who paved the way.
Ballet classes can branch out beyond the studio
