Excellence Within Reach

Ballet 5:8’s master class and festival programming extends our mission to provide exceptional, story-driven ballet training beyond our home studios—bringing professional-level instruction to dancers and communities across the country.

Whether through a single technique class or a full weekend residency, our engagements are designed to equip dancers with both technical excellence and artistic depth. Classes are taught by Ballet 5:8 company artists and faculty who combine rigorous training with a deeply human, mentorship-based approach.

We tailor our offerings to fit the needs of your community, with flexible formats that may include:

– Ballet technique, pointe, men’s class, or contemporary

– Repertoire and improvisation

– Wellness, injury prevention, and faith-informed artistic discussions

Through festivals and collaborative partnerships, we also engage with esteemed guest educators from across the ballet world—including artists trained at institutions like the School of American Ballet and Royal Ballet School—to offer dancers a broad, inspiring experience.

Our goal is not just to teach steps—but to cultivate dancers who are expressive, grounded, and confident in the intersection of craft and calling.
