About Ballet Fantastique

Ballet Fantastique, located in Eugene, Oregon, has been fostering artistic expression and technical proficiency in dancers of all ages since its founding in October 2000. As a boutique professional training school, it offers a rich tapestry of dance experiences rooted in classical ballet, with a renowned focus on the Vaganova technique. Beyond ballet, the studio embraces contemporary movement, jazz, and hip hop, even incorporating elements of acrobatics into its dynamic curriculum. Youngest aspiring dancers can explore creative movement through programs like "Baby Steps Ballet" and "Bitsy Ballet," while more serious youth ages 6-22 can immerse themselves in intensive training within the Professional Division, boasting an impressive 1:12 coach-to-student ratio. Teen and adult dancers aged 13 and up can join dedicated Adult Ballet and Adult Contemporary classes, alongside specialized workshops such as "Petit Allegro Jumps," "Grand Allegro Jumps," and "Pirouette Focus." The "Ballet for Athletes" program enhances athletic performance through ballet's core principles. Ballet Fantastique is led by Artistic Director Donna Marisa Bontrager and Executive Director Hannah Bontrager, and its distinguished faculty includes Ms. Amanda Arens, Ms. Hadassah Slater, Ms. Brianne Falanga, Ms. Brooke Geffrey-Bowler, and Tavari Groesbeck. Students have numerous performance opportunities, including professional company productions at the Hult Center, and the studio has been recognized as the best ballet school in Eugene for consecutive years. Flexible purchasing options, including drop-in rates and 10-class cards, make dance accessible to the entire Eugene community.
