School of Nashville Ballet

School of Nashville Ballet offers world-class dance instruction to ages 2-70 of every experience level. Students can stretch their imaginations in the Children’s Division, nurture their skill and artistry in the Academy Division, let loose and express themselves in Community Division Youth Classes and find their “me” time in Community Division Adult Classes. Since its founding in 1986, Nashville Ballet has grown to become the largest professional ballet company in Tennessee, presenting a varied repertoire of classical ballet and contemporary works by noted choreographers, including original works by Artistic Director Paul Vasterling. Nashville Ballet owns its own building, the Martin Center for Nashville Ballet, a customized 44,000 square foot facility that serves as a home for our professional dancers, school students and administrative offices. Though some performances are held at the Martin Center for Nashville Ballet, most performances are held at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) in downtown Nashville.
