At Mendocino Ballet, we believe in the transformative power of dance—not just as an art form, but as a tool for personal growth, expression, and community connection.
As the only dance school in Mendocino County offering pre-professional-quality training with a strong foundation in Classical Ballet, we’re proud to provide a space where dancers of all ages and backgrounds can thrive.
While ballet remains at the heart of our curriculum, we also offer a diverse range of styles including Tap, Modern, Contemporary, Pre-Ballet, and Creative Movement classes for our youngest movers (ages 3–5). Whether a student dreams of a career on stage or simply dances for the joy of it, every dancer receives high-caliber technical training and meaningful performance opportunities in a supportive environment.
Our studios are intentionally family-friendly, with welcoming spaces for parents and caregivers, and developmentally appropriate curriculum designed to nurture confidence, creativity, and discipline. We are committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and non-competitive atmosphere where each dancer is encouraged to grow at their own pace. At Mendocino Ballet, we don't just teach dance—we build a community rooted in movement, mindfulness, and the belief that the arts enrich every life they touch.
The Mendocino Ballet Company was accepted as a performing member of the newly formed Regional Dance America/Pacific Region in 2022. The mission of RDA is to elevate the future of dance in America giving dancers experience and directors perspective. This opportunity helps our students have access to masterclasses, scholarship opportunities, and grow in their love of dance. We are happy to be able to connect our studio in our rural area to other dance communities to learn from and grow together across the West Coast.
