Classical Ballet School in Calgary

AA Classical Ballet School in Calgary is a professional classical ballet school, offering classical ballet training for children, teens, adults, and pre-professional dancers. We believe ballet is more than learning steps — it builds confidence, discipline, artistry, and a lasting appreciation for dance.

Our students range from young beginners discovering ballet for the first time to advanced dancers preparing for RAD examinations, performances, and international competitions. With small class sizes and individual attention, each dancer is supported at every stage of their development.

Under the direction of former professional dancers Jaciel Gomez and Yairelys Sosa, our school provides a welcoming and inspiring environment where students are encouraged to grow, work with purpose, and reach their full potential.

Inspiring confidence, artistry, and excellence through classical ballet.
