Ballet is the rare and exciting combination of the highest standards of athletic discipline, and the emotional passion of an art. We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this wonderful activity, and we love to share it with all. Members of Ballet California train exclusively at the prestigious Lauridsen Ballet Centre. Since 1978, we have trained thousands of students in our community. The proven track record of the school is second to none. We have prepared many for acceptance into more than 50 national and international professional companies. Countless university scholarships and summer program intensives are awarded to Lauridsen Ballet Centre students time and time again. Our organization boasts a deep commitment to sharing the beauty and wonder of ballet to audiences throughout the southland and the nation. We continue to enrich the community with a vast outreach program to many organizations. We have consistently been an honor member of The Ballet Alliance. We have been awarded two Medals of Excellence by US presidents. We are honored to invite you to become a member of our family. Join us as students, audience members, volunteers and donors. We would love to hear from you!
