Atlantic Contemporary Ballet Theatre (ACBT) The Performing Arts Academy offers a wide variety of dance classes to suit dancers of every age, experience level and interest. All classes are taught by professional dancers and choreographers, many have learned and danced with us for years. The ACBT Performing Arts Academy (the official school of Atlantic City Ballet) educates both the serious student as well as those who want to have fun through dance. Under the direction of school director and world class ballerina, Phyllis Papa, students will receive training in ballet as well as other dance forms. Classical training will apply the Russian technique as well as the Bournonville technique. Both of these techniques serve to abide by the laws of anatomy. Many of our students have competed and placed in the Universal and World Ballet Competitions, and also won. Our students have gone on to be professionals dancers in companies, choreographers, Directors of companies, and teachers at their own schools. Although primarily known for it's exceptional classical ballet program, the Academy has also offered jazz, hip hop and a variety of other performing arts disciplines. We plan to do that again in the future. Our classes are offered for a variety of skill levels from beginner to advanced. Have questions? Email us at [email protected]
