Name: Ballet Idaho Academy 

Location: 501 S. 8th Street Boise, Idaho 83702

About:

Ballet Idaho Academy is associated with Ballet Idaho, the company. As I looked through the site, I found an impressive “handbook” for parents that outlines in detail nearly anything you could possibly want to know about attending classes there. A very helpful resource. It discusses class levels, gives class descriptions, talks about summer programs and performance opportunities and describes the dress code and code of conduct. Excellent! 

The school offers an ensemble, which gives students the opportunity to get pre-professional experience through an educational outreach program. Admission is by audition only.  

At the helm is Peter Anastos, Artistic Director, who is well-known in the dance world for his many accomplishments. An excellent faculty includes Heather Hawk, a lovely dancer who I had the privilege of studying with years ago at Chicago City Ballet School.
