Where Ballet
Meets Evolution.
For over 45 years we have devoted ourselves to a program of building confidence and self-esteem of the aspiring student of the arts. The team at Ballet Arts includes internationally acclaimed teachers with a spectacular array of teaching and performing expertise. Our team is led by Lia Daniele, daughter of founder Sheran Daniele, who carries forward her mother's legacy with 25+ years of performing arts and education experience, alongside Ada Cacciatore, dance educator with 10+ years of experience, dedicated to bringing Ballet Arts into its next exciting chapter.
Where every dancer finds their voice.
We believe that early education in the arts represents one of the purest and most transformative forms of learning. Rooted in the timeless tradition of ballet - a discipline that has inspired artists and audiences for centuries - we honor the rich heritage, artistry, and excellence that have shaped generations of dancers. Ballet serves as the foundation of our training, providing students with the strength, discipline, grace, musicality, and work ethic that support success not only in dance, but in life.
