Mendocino Ballet is the county's only dance program that offers professional quality dance training with Classical Ballet as the foundation.

In addition to Classical Ballet we offer Tap, Pre-Ballet for ages 3-5, Modern, and Contemporary Dance so students can choose from a variety of styles. Even if you do not plan on a career in dance, you still receive the best technical training and performance opportunities offered in the area. Mendocino Ballet promotes the unique power of the performing arts to nourish our communities by enriching the lives of our children. Our studios are family friendly with waiting areas for parents who want to watch their children dance, along with age-appropriate curriculum in a safe, non-competitive classroom.

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.

Help Our Ballet School Bloom!!

For decades, Mendocino Ballet School has been a home for dancers of all ages—a place where children take their first turns, lifelong friendships are formed, and the beauty of the performing arts flourishes in our rural community. As we step into a new season of growth and renewal, our cherished studio is in urgent need of restoration.

We are specifically raising funds to replace our dance floor in our upstairs studio in our ‘Blue Room’ as well as repaint the inside, and other small but hugely noticeable repairs that help keep this space feeling fresh, inspiring, and conducive with our mission of creating art through dance.
