Ballet near Aiken, SC

There is a possibility we will be relocating to the Aiken, SC area due to a work related transfer. My daughter is a pre-professional ballet dancer. Can anyone give me any information regarding pre-professional ballet schools in the area attached to companies or not. I%26#39;ve researched a bit and the best/closest one seems to be Columbia City Ballet in Columbia. Any information would be very welcomed. My daughter is very worried about her training if we move.





Thank you,





E.

Hi, i took ballet and pointe in Aiken, so I can tell you to call Crosby%26#39;s School of Dance if your daughter is interested in dancing professionally. They always put on classic productions, although i will add that Crosby tends to have his ';favorite'; students, that he casts in all the main roles.



I studied at Aiken Ballet School. While more laid back than Crosby%26#39;s, they put on fun productions that are completely choreographed by the owner(we put on the wizard of oz, the little mermaid, etc).



Burns is the only other school. As far as i know, they do not offer pointe classes, and focus heavily on tap and jazz.





If she is sincerely worried about her training, i would recommend trying Crosby. If she isn%26#39;t satisfied there, it might be best to take her to the Columbia City Ballet, if you can handle the hour commute.



Here are the phone numbers for each, and I hope this info was helpful.





Aiken Ballet School-(803) 648-8768

Try crosby. It is the best. I go there myself. I have done it for more than 11 years. I have done tap and ballet. Now I am in the company on pointe. It is now under the direction of Diane Toole Miller. Crosby School of Dance has been kept working for 50 years when Carl Crosby started it. He still teaches and is assistant director. He has a lot of experiance; he has been on Broadway. If you wish to check out the style our newest performance is called Beyond Ballet. It is being performed at the Etherage Center at USCA at 8 on Saturday Night. Before that we are performing a Korean Cinderella Story. It is going to be an excellent performance. We constantly have world renowned guest dancers. It is perfect for people who like classical taditional style. It good for both beginners and professional dancers. They offer ballet,tap,jazz,pre-pointe,pointe,and adult classes. Check it out.
