Summer growth doesn’t happen on stage.

It happens in daily work, showing up to class, trying again, supporting your peers, and choosing to keep learning.
We’re proud to recognize the dancers who invested in their training through EPAC Summer Intensives this year. Every class, correction, and breakthrough helped prepare them for another exciting season ahead.

We are so proud of your commitment and can’t wait to see all you’ve learned shine throughout the coming season.

Strong ballet training builds confident, versatile dancers.

Ballet is the foundation for every dancer’s journey. Our curriculum for students in 1st through 12th grade develops classical technique while building strength, musicality, artistry, and discipline that benefits every style of dance.
Students also have opportunities to perform in our annual recital and with Idaho Regional Ballet in The Nutcracker, creating experiences that inspire growth both on and off the stage.

Our Fall classes start August 31, we hope to see you there!

Every great dancer starts with imagination. 🩰✨

Our Pre-Ballet program for children ages 3½–6 introduces young dancers to the world of ballet through creative movement, music, and storytelling.
Students build coordination, rhythm, balance, and confidence while exploring movement in a fun, nurturing environment. Along the way, they'll also develop classroom skills like listening, taking turns, and working together with their classmates.
It's the perfect first step into a lifelong love of dance.
