Founded in 1978 by Kay Sandel, Classical Ballet School offers professional instruction in classical Russian ballet technique and character dance for students of all ages. Drawing on her heritage from teachers Roman Jasinski and Moscelyne Larkin (Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo), Kay Sandel is passing on to her students a firm foundation in classical training. Classes range in levels from pre-ballet to advanced/professional and are designed to prepare students for a performing career, a teaching career, or to enhance the student?s pure enjoyment and appreciation of dance as a creative art form. The study of dance instills a respect for hard work and provides the student with many lifelong benefits, including good posture, self-discipline and confidence. The philosophy of Classical Ballet School is to facilitate learning in order for every student to achieve their maximum potential. The high standards are tempered by a motivating, encouraging and enthusiastic learning environment. Located in northwest Oklahoma City and convenient to Edmond, the facility was specially built for dance and has a beautiful, brightly lit, spacious studio with a sprung floor covered with a nonslip dance surface for the safety of the dancers.
