St. Paul's School Ballet Company

St. Paul's School Ballet Company All classes are focused on challenging students and supporting their physical, mental and artistic development.

The SPS Dance Program is designed to train all levels of dancers, from the beginner to the most advanced students who wish to study dance in an inspiring learning environment. The program is distinct amongst independent secondary schools in offering year-round dance classes as part of its academic calendar, including: Dance I, and Ballet II-V. In addition, serious dancers may audition for the St.

Paul’s School Ballet Company (SPSBC), a year-round program that can be substituted for athletic participation at the varsity level. SPSBC dancers work one-on-one with faculty, guest teachers and guest choreographers, rehearsing daily throughout the academic calendar, and performing four different programs per school year. Its repertory includes classics as well as contemporary works. Through the Visiting Artist Program (VAP), the SPSBC has worked with principal dancers of internationally-recognized American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Ballet X, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Big Dance Theater, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, Twyla Tharp Dance, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Trisha Brown Dance Company, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Batsheva Dance Company, and master ballet teachers from American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, the Balanchine Trust, New York City Ballet and School of American Ballet. With its high-quality instruction, significant class and rehearsal time, and exposure to diverse choreographers and styles of movement, SPS has a long history of producing accomplished and well-rounded dancers. Graduates have gone on to dance at The Juilliard School, Barnard College, Columbia University, Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University, Princeton University, Wellesley College, University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, University of Michigan Department of Musical Theater, and Vassar College. SPS Dance Program alumni have danced professionally with New York City Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, Jose Limon Dance Company, Lar Lubovitch, Batsheva Dance Company, Twyla Tharp Dance, Louisville Ballet, Carolina Ballet, and Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, to name a few.
