Dance In The US: Shuffles & Ballet II, The Official School Of Ballet Arkansas
Next on the list we have Arkansas for our series on Dance in the US…
Name: Shuffles & Ballet II, The Official School Of Ballet Arkansas
Location: 1521 Merril Dr., Market & Merrill Shopping Center, Little Rock, AR 72211
About: This school opened in 1987 and it offers a wide range of classes in addition to ballet, including hip hop, jazz dance, tap and modern. They have a pre-professional program for serious dance students as well. Ballet Arkansas is affiliated with the school, and has been since 2001.
I found it interesting that many of the faculty members have a lot of experience in musical theater, which is also offered through the school. Make no mistake, however, there is some serious ballet background there as well, including faculty member Arleen Sugano, who once taught at the Joffrey Ballet School.
