About Baird Ballet

Praise His name with dancing   Psalm 149:3

Baird Ballet is a Christian based dance school and our mission is to develop well rounded dancers with a strong emphasis on classical ballet.  Classical ballet is the foundation of all dance forms and teaches each student discipline, confidence and a positive self expression.   

Accomplishing a solid foundation in ballet is crucial to becoming a great dancer in any dance style.  Wthout ballet all movements in most other styles of dance would never be performed properly.

The Baird Ballet performs twice a year at the Rome City Auditorium.  At Christimas and our Spring concert in May.   

Baird Ballet offers a training program for the serious ballet student.  At age 8, two ballet classes a week are recommended.  Students move to the next level as more classes a week are required.  Ballet students may enter pointe class at 11 1/2 years of age but must be taking two ballet classes a week.  Each student will reach pointe level at various periods of training and will be evaluated by the director for pointe class.
