Ballet Conservatory

The Ballet Conservatory opened its doors in 1991, under the direction of Mrs. Lannin established an excellent reputation in Lewisville for training dancers and nurturing talent and enthusiastically brought together a highly-qualified faculty to join her to provide the best instruction in all areas of dance including classical ballet and pointe, jazz, modern dance, tap and hip hop. Each faculty member is an expert in their respected fields with professional experience and many hold college degrees in dance as well. Our faculty members offer encouragement and support; treating each child with respect as an individual. In addition to our outstanding professional faculty, the school also recognizes the importance of bringing in esteemed guest instructors. We have many successful alumni including professional dancers in major companies such as New York City Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Miami City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Tulsa Ballet and others. Ballet Conservatory received the prestigious award of ”Outstanding School” by the Youth America Grand Prix Organization for the Southwest Region in 2008, 2009, 2017, and 2018 and our Director, Kelly Lannin, has been honored with its “Outstanding Teacher Award” four times.
