our school
the art of dance
Formed in 1985, The Columbia County Ballet
celebrates the art of dance through the beauty
of the ballet. Dancers desire
to move beautifully, with
power, speaking through
movement in ways that
words sometimes fail. The
particularly graceful and
elegant form of the ballet trained
dancer transcends
the ordinary and allows the
dancer to enter a realm of beauty that feeds
the soul. Every child compelled to move from
within has the power to take this journey.
a foundation built with care
and intelligence
Founding Directors, Ron and Kathleen Jones,
understood from the outset the value of
establishing a strong and consistent method of
training for every one of their students. From
the youngest to the most advanced student,
our syllabus is structured to address the
particular needs and challenges of each level. “
Ballet is approached as an art form here at
Columbia County Ballet Academy. We have a
deep respect for its traditions and a thorough
understanding of its structure. When a child
receives proper training in the earliest years,
the success of that dancer’s future experience
is set in motion.”
the power of the dancer’s voice
There are many dance programs available.
Some focus on the recreation of dance, while
others strive toward competitions by learning
and repeating routines in front of judges. The pure joy of dance and
a strong sense of
healthy competition thrive within the studios at
the Columbia County Ballet because our
programs focus on the beauty
and power of dance as an art
form. When our students
develop the necessary skills
from proper instruction and
training, they are able to
develop the ability to speak
through movement with the
power to captivate an
audience and truly be heard.
why columbia county ballet?
Instructors at the Academy are professionally trained and certified through
the Academy's Apprenticeship Program. Instructors are selected based
upon their comprehension of the ballet technique, it's rich history,
and the elements of stage preparation and performance. Apprentices assist
within the classroom for a 3-4 year training period. The resulting cohesiveness
within the training system at the Columbia County Ballet is the result
of this thorough training process.
