Our Studio
We realized a long time dream by moving from a “one-room schoolhouse” to 4701 Grand in October 2004. Our current 7,000 square foot facility includes 3 dance studios, men’s & women’s dressing & restrooms, ample lobby space, copy room, storage space and administrative offices.
Serving Our Community
We strive to provide quality dance education, training, and performance in a professional yet local venue. There have been numerous projects to benefit our local community over the years and some still continue today.
Western Arkansas Ballet Patrons
Our patrons provide financial support on a regular basis and without them, we wouldn't be able to do all we do.
