Welcome . . . . . . . . .
Our students are our prime focus. We are committed to providing them with teaching methods based on sound classical technique. These classes are Russian/Italian based and enriched with anatomical principals for a deeper understanding of body awareness and connectivity, emphasizing the execution of that technique using proper body alignment while developing a deeper understanding of the artistic, musicality connection behind the movement.
The Ballet Workshop has built its reputation on providing dancers a safe environment for training in classical ballet, jazz and tap while nurturing dreams of becoming a professional dancer since its inception in 1988 by Artistic Director Syble Bracken. Located in downtown Enumclaw on the corner of Griffin Avenue and Cole Street, the studio is housed upstairs in one of the City’s oldest historic buildings.
Our Youth Ballet Company, Plateau Ballet Repertory Theatre, is a 501(c)(3) pre-professional group. PBRT’s performance season consists of their Holiday production of “The Nutcracker Ballet” in December, a Spring repertory performance in April, an Outreach Program, which is sponsored by The Ballet Workshop and private donations, that caters to assisted-living facilities and academic schools within our community and performs with The Ballet Workshop in their end-of-year school performance in June.
We want The Ballet Workshop to make a difference in our community with the performing arts we offer. Our mission is to empower those students interested in pursuing a career in dance achieve their personal best while developing some of the skills; technique, artistry, musicality and confidence, necessary to achieve this goal, whatever aspect of the dance field they may choose. Our ultimate goal is to prepare and carry these young dancers into their professional lives, whatever direction they may choose.
We pride ourselves in our high standards of teaching for every level we offer, allowing each student the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace while developing poise, grace and confidence.
