Our Mission, ballet training for everyone…
Dance Training Center offers complete programs of quality ballet instruction for both children and adults. It is the work of the DTC Foundation to enhance the curriculum of the Ballet School of San Francisco by providing multiple performance opportunities for students, public educational seminars, workshops and financial assistance.
The Ballet School of San Francisco provides a much needed alternative to more competitive ballet schools, allowing students to train intensely and maintain a rigorous academic schedule. Students of all skill and interest levels are welcomed into our rigorous yet friendly and supportive dance community. The curriculum infuses the science of good alignment with the creative artistry of performance. Our highly qualified and dedicated faculty all have professional dance experience. Together, they offer an ideal combination of youth and experience, and are highly skilled in helping each student develop according to their unique interests and abilities.
““DTC and our school have grown more than I could have ever dreamed. When I realized that we were big enough to require studio space of our own, I knew it was going to take a team to succeed in giving our students what they needed. And so, the DTC Foundation was born. “”
