Dance is a Celebration of Life

The School of Ballet Arts, originally founded by Leila Parello in 1974 in northern California, emphasizes learning the discipline and joy of dance in a friendly, non-competitive environment. We believe the art of dance enhances the quality of life. Our dance school focuses on dance as education, training, and fitness. The School of Ballet Arts offers a complete ballet curriculum for children, teens, and adults and is an East San Diego County Ballet School that offers affordable classes to the entire San Diego area. Individualized dance classes, taught by our credentialed, professional staff, offer a unique opportunity to learn ballet technique, pointe, classical ballet variations, stretch, and jazz. Our dance studio also accommodates fun Pre-Ballet, Toddler, and Mommy & Me dance classes. Our dance school yearly recitals traditionally occur in the summer.

We offer affordable rates, family discounts, and senior citizen discounts.
