About the Program
Kwak Ballet Academy is the official school of the Las Vegas Ballet Company, with ballet classes for kids starting at Ages 6 and older. Every level is taught in a pre-professional way, with a small student to teacher ratio, so this suits a child who wants real classical training more than a recreational sampler.
Levels go by age and readiness. Ballet I starts at Ages 6 and older with posture, basic steps and ballet terms. Ballet II is for Age 8 and older and needs a placement class; pre-pointe usually waits until eight or nine. Intermediate takes Ages 12 and older and adds pointe, variations and conditioning, and Intermediate II - Advanced adds pas de deux. Contemporary classes and one-on-one private coaching round it out, and there is an adult class for parents.
The school is led by Kyudong Kwak, who trained at the Kirov Ballet Academy in Washington D.C. and came to Nevada Ballet Theatre in 1998 as a principal dancer before becoming its ballet master. Committed students can join the company to perform, including a Nutcracker at Nicholas J. Horn Theater, and there is a summer intensive. Ask the school for current tuition and class times, and about booking a placement class.

First Visit Guide
What most dance studios expect. Confirm the details with Kwak Ballet Academy before you go.
What to bring
- Leggings or shorts with a fitted top, nothing your child can trip on
- Bare feet or socks are fine for a trial. Don't buy ballet, tap, or jazz shoes until the studio tells you the exact style and color they want.
- Hair pulled back, water bottle
Before you go
- Ask about the dress code before you buy anything.
- Come early for the waiver and to find the right studio room.
- Ask how parents watch. Some studios have windows, some have lobby monitors, some are drop-off only.
The first visit
A trial class is normal: warm-up, moving across the floor, and a short routine. The recital and costume fees come months later. Ask when those decisions are due so nothing surprises you.
For sensory-sensitive kids
Mirrors, music, and a room full of kids is a lot at once. Ask if your child can watch a class first, and whether the studio runs smaller classes.
