Tutu School
Boutique-style ballet schools that cater specifically to children 18 months to 8 years-old. Located inside Park Street Plaza.
Our mission is simple: We believe that twirling should be a fundamental part of any childhood. Exposing children at the earliest possible age to creativity, movement, and classical music will serve them well in whatever they choose to do with their lives. Dancing like swans and Sugar Plum Fairies not only exercises little bodies but also nurtures big imaginations.
Alameda Ballet Academy
The instructors and staff of the Alameda Ballet Academy are dedicated to bringing quality classical dance education to the greater Alameda community. They seek to impart students with artistry, self expression, grace and musicality, while encouraging a love for the art of dance.
Alameda Ballet Academy and its affiliate performing company, Alameda Civic Ballet, were founded in 2003 by the Artistic Director Abra Rudisill. In her lessons and leadership, Abra draws upon her 20 years of experience as a Prima Ballerina and Ballet Mistress with Oakland Ballet, and she seeks to carry on her artistic lineage through the education of Bay Area youth.
Students are in encouraged to perform in both the ballet company’s Nutcracker holiday performance and the school’s Spring Recital.
