Building the next generation of Athletes of Art.

At United Ballet Theatre, it's our principle and passion to continually improve our ways of providing the most beneficial, well-balanced ballet organization in the world.

Being a professional dancer for over 20 years, I have witnessed the impact injuries have had on my fellow dancers across the ballet world. I've performed on the biggest stages and seen how companies are run — and how many dancers get drawn into institutions that prioritize short-term solutions over long-term wellbeing.

It wasn't until I suffered a serious injury in 2015 that I knew I wanted to create a professional ballet company — and eventually an academy — where dancers felt protected and knew they would receive a uniquely balanced schedule: not only rehearsals, but designated time throughout the day for cross-training, conditioning, Pilates, treatment, and recovery.

After leaving the company world, I finally had time to cross-train and condition under the guidance of physical therapists and personal trainers who specialize in ballet. The benefits in my performances and class were immediate. I realized that technique class and rehearsals alone cannot prepare a dancer for the demands of classical ballet and the choreography of today's stage.

At UBT, we understand we cannot prevent every injury. The choices artists make outside the studio matter just as much as what happens inside it. In the end, it is your body and your life.

United Ballet Theatre is committed to giving every dancer the time, guidance, and tools needed to pursue a healthier, happier, stronger, and longer career in dance. Our mission extends beyond exceptional ballet training—we are equally dedicated to the health, well-being, and longevity of every student.

We believe excellence and enjoyment can coexist. By fostering a culture of hard work, integrity, and passion, United Ballet Theatre empowers dancers not only to achieve their goals, but to sustain them for a lifetime.
