About Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet

Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet, nestled in El Dorado Hills, California, offers a distinguished approach to classical dance education. Rooted deeply in the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, our esteemed program emphasizes precise anatomical placement and robust technique, fostering an environment where artistic expression flourishes. Artistic Director Pamela Hayes, a professional dancer with over 25 years of experience, brings an internationally recognized level of expertise, meticulously guiding young dancers through foundational principles including "turnout" and the five basic positions. Our curriculum provides rigorous training, focusing on developing strong, resilient bodies capable of a lifetime of movement, emphasizing lower body strength, core stability, and the flexibility required for dancing "en pointe." The RAD method, known for its "English style," ensures a gradual progression in difficulty, allowing students to master each step with exceptional technical proficiency. Beyond foundational training, Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet provides opportunities for students to engage with the rich traditions of classical ballet, including participation in iconic productions like The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. The studio's Ballet School offers a comprehensive approach, nurturing dancers of all ages and levels, from beginner to company-level performers, and cultivates a disciplined and artistic environment. We welcome new students with free trial classes, encouraging enrollment and personalized discussion about our offerings.
