Princeton Ballet School (PBS) is the official school of American Repertory Ballet. PBS has gained an international reputation for its excellent dance training since its founding in 1954 by Audrée Estey. With locations in Princeton and New Brunswick, PBS offers classes in ballet, modern dance, jazz, hip-hop, character, and more. PBS provides opportunities for students ages 3 through adult, including its award winning DANCE POWER program, Dance for Parkinson's, and performance opportunities, such as the option to participate in American Repertory Ballet’s celebrated annual production of The Nutcracker. What sets Princeton Ballet School apart from the usual dance school are its affiliation with a professional ballet company, its renowned faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and its dedication to live music in the classroom.
