About Mobile Ballet

Mobile Ballet, located in Mobile, Alabama, has been the Gulf Coast's premier classical ballet school and company since its founding in 1987. Under the direction of Katia Garza and Kimberley Sears, Mobile Ballet offers world-class dance education and artistic excellence for students from age 3 to adult, and pre-professional levels. The studio provides a comprehensive curriculum encompassing classical ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, and tap, fostering rhythm, coordination, flexibility, and strong technical foundations. Programs are structured to cater to all skill levels and aspirations. The Academy program offers intensive classical ballet training for aspiring professional dancers, while the Performance Division provides rigorous training and performance opportunities, including major productions like The Nutcracker and end-of-year showcases. The Recreational Division offers quality instruction with flexible scheduling, and a specialized Homeschool Division provides daytime training. The Adult Ballet Division welcomes all experience levels. The auditioned Mobile Ballet Company, an elite student ensemble, offers advanced training and performance opportunities alongside professional artists in full-season productions. Beyond rigorous training, Mobile Ballet is dedicated to enriching the community through initiatives like the DISCOVER DANCE PROGRAM, offering discounted tickets to K-12 students, the RELEVE PROJECT for tuition assistance, and SHARE THE DANCE for broader audience outreach. They prioritize proper class placement and encourage prospective students to consult their School Handbook.
