Arizona Classical Ballet offers ballet, pointe, comtemporary, tap, hip hop, tumbling, jazz / pilates, praise & worship & zumba.  They have classes begining at 20 months!

In addition to their weekday schedule, they also offer classes Saturday morning for toddlers and preschoolers.  A couple of friends take their daughters on Saturday and say that Mrs. Barbara is wonderful with children. Click here for their full schedule.

Yuma moms speak out.  Find out what other moms had to say about Arizona Classical Ballet:


"I have 4 sons, and they dance at Arizona Classical Ballet. My oldest son is becoming quite a talented adult male ballet dancer and prefers classical ballet, which is why ACB is a great place to dance.  For younger boys who want to do hiphop or breakdance, ACB has a great teacher. We have looked at almost all the dance studios in Yuma and none of them has a hiphop class that is truly for boys except ACB. They also offer worship dance with Miss Barbara."
