Western Ballet

Western Ballet offers children's classes, a complete pre-professional youth program, and more than 30 adult ballet classes each week. Our students range from age 3 to 96 (yes indeed!). We offer classes for a wide range of levels from absolute beginners to advanced and professional levels. There is no membership required to take advantage of our adult programs. Our Studios, costumes, sets and props are available for rental. Established in 1975. Western Ballet was founded by Richard Gibson and Kenneth Delmar in 1975 and became a non-profit organization in 1979. The School has offered classical ballet training of the highest standard since its founding to children and adults in the mid-peninsula area. We offer our students the finest studio facilities available in the Bay Area and an outstanding staff of professionally trained faculty with a teaching style that brings out the creativity and individuality in our students. Each year we perform The Nutcracker in December and a mixed repertory program in June at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
