The School of Dance cultivates a professional setting focused on performance, instruction, choreography, and artistic development for aspiring dancers. Our curriculum equips students with essential ballet knowledge spanning theory, history, and theatrical applications to thrive in professional dance companies or theaters. By combining rigorous classical ballet training with OU's distinguished liberal arts education, we prepare dancers for flourishing careers. During their studies, students can audition for our premier classical ballet ensemble, the Oklahoma Festival Ballet, gaining valuable performance experience across local, national, and international stages. Participation in the company's yearly productions enhances students' technical skills and artistic expression while providing practical performance experience.
