Through technique comes the performance...

Our philosophy.

Ballet, as well as other forms of dance, provides a student with strength, flexibility, coordination, musicality, grace, and above all, confidence. At the Royal Academy of Ballet (RAB), we stress body alignment and placement, which develops long lines and clean technique.

We base our training on the Russian method of ballet (Vaganova), with a Balanchine influence. All classes, no matter what level or style of dance, are taught with an emphasis on clean technique.

The Royal Academy of Ballet is also the official school of the Greater Buffalo Youth Ballet.
