Ballet Arizona

We have exciting news! ✨ The School of Ballet Arizona is expanding to North Central Phoenix with a new satellite location following the acquisition of Ballet Theatre of Phoenix, located near 7th Street and Bethany Home Road.

For the past ten years, Ballet Theatre of Phoenix, founded by Artistic Director Jennifer Cafarella Betts, has been an important part of the local arts community, serving students of all ages and building a strong dance community.

We are grateful to Jennifer for the trust she has placed in us and for the opportunity to honor the legacy she has built. We are excited to welcome students and families to The School of Ballet Arizona in any of our campuses.💫

Happy Birthday to our Artistic Director, Daniela Cardim! 💐✨ Daniela, thank you for your commitment, dedication, and for all of the heart and passion you pour into Ballet Arizona. Your artistry and leadership continue to inspire our dancers, staff, and audiences. We wish you a wonderful year ahead filled with joy, creativity, and incredible new experiences. 💫

Join us in wishing her a very happy birthday! 🩰🎂

This year, we welcomed more than 26,000 participants, connected with 135 schools, and spent 670+ hours engaging with communities across the Valley. We also celebrated the launch of our inaugural Sensory Adapted performance of The Nutcracker and saw continued growth in our Creative Aging program—proving once again that ballet is for everyone.

Thank you to our students, families, partners, supporters, and community for making this possible. We can't wait to continue sharing the magic of dance with you. 💫
