The Ballet Bus travels across Central Alabama offering dance classes for young dancers.  We accept pre-k to upper elementary school! The Ballet Bus is the perfect way to incorporate a fine arts education and bring it to the public-school system. Every student will have the opportunity to take this ballet jazz and tumble class as in introduction to the creative arts. I believe the arts are a vital part of curriculum. The arts allow a creative outlet for children, they help development of social skills, motor skills and self-awareness. Overall ballet jazz and tumble introduce our young learners to a new culture, and they will embrace a new appreciation for the arts. The bus is pink, lined with ballet bars and full of tumble toys.
