 The Ballet Bus travels across Central Alabama bringing ballet and jazz classes to young dancers from pre-K to upper elementary. It’s a fun and accessible way to bring fine arts education into schools and communities, giving every child the chance to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop important life skills. We believe the arts are an essential part of a child’s growth — helping with coordination, social skills, and self-expression while introducing them to new cultures and a lifelong appreciation for the arts. The bus is bright pink, lined with ballet bars, and now proudly calls the Grandview Community Center in Cullman home, serving a total of six locations across the region. Every stop is a step toward inspiring the next generation
