Through excellence in classical ballet traditions, we seek to attract and expose our diverse community to the wonder and value of the art of dance. We will provide the highest quality of dance education in a setting that is developmentally appropriate and artistically stimulating. Our certified teachers are dedicated to enriching the lives of all students by nurturing and encouraging artistic expression in children and adults.

The goal of City Ballet of Iowa is to serve the community by not only strengthening legs and arms, but also by introducing accomplishments and discipline to the spirit of all participants.

City Ballet of Iowa's goal is to prepare dancers for professional careers. Students benefit from dance in many ways by building grace and poise and obtaining the mental and physical discipline that promotes a strong and focused character. Many students follow related careers in physical therapy, choreography, costume design, scene design or teaching. They also form an appreciative dance audience.
