Olympic Ballet was founded by Helen Wilkins and her late husband John Wilkins 30 years ago. Olympic is composed of Olympic Ballet School, which provides classical ballet training for dancers of all ages; and Olympic Ballet Theatre, a nonprofit ballet company dedicated to producing a full season of high-caliber performances.
Among Olympic's goals are producing quality classical and original ballets to develop new dance audiences, attracting young audiences through special programming, fostering community collaboration and offering professional opportunities to dancers, choreographers and designers in the Puget Sound area. Olympic offers six levels of training in both barre technique and center practice.
The Dance Center of La Grange offers classes for all ages in Pre-Ballet, Creative Movement, Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Tap and Choreography. DCL believes dance should be enjoyed as an art form versus a competitive event. Since their opening in 1996, Robin Hill's (Teacher/Director/Owner) teaching philosophy has remained the same, to "Emphasize technique and style in all my classes. I also encourage a high level of motivation, energy, and most of all, fun!" DCL has two studios in the same building fully equipped with professional spring floors, ballet barres and mirrors.
Check out their class schedule and special offers on their website. For any other questions, contact Robin directly at [email protected].
