📣 Schedules, schedules, schedules!!! 🍂✨

We are SO excited to officially announce our Fall Schedule and incredible teacher lineup! 🎉 We have an amazing group of teachers who can’t wait to welcome our students back and make this season our best yet.

As we continue building our RSM location, all classes will begin the year at our San Clemente studio. We are so excited to kick off the season together as we prepare for an incredible year of growth, learning, and unforgettable memories.

We can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces this fall!!! 💛🍁 make sure to like, share, comment and follow us for all things BAM!

My heart is overflowing with joy and gratitude! 💙

Today, a dream became a reality. Our Conditional Use Permit (CUP) has officially been approved for our second Ballet Academy & Movement location in Rancho Santa Margarita! Such a HUGE thank you to Wendy! You are an angel!

This isn’t about leaving San Clemente. It’s about growing because of the incredible families who have believed in us from the very beginning. Every student, parent, teacher, and supporter has helped make this possible. Our San Clemente campus will always be the heart of Ballet Academy & Movement, and we remain deeply committed to serving the community that built us.

This new location allows us to expand our vision by creating additional opportunities for dancers throughout South Orange County while continuing to strengthen the exceptional training we provide in San Clemente. Together, our two campuses will allow more children to discover a love of dance and provide aspiring dancers with a true pre-professional ballet pathway close to home.

This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my incredible fiancé, Derek Shaw, my amazing Assistant Director, Miss Cara, and incredible teacher Miss Katherine. Thank you for believing in this vision, standing beside me every step of the way, and helping turn this dream into a reality.

A special thank you to Cat for being there today and for helping share our vision of bringing world-class pre-professional ballet training to South Orange County.

To our San Clemente families: thank you for trusting us with your children, believing in our mission, and helping build something truly special. This next chapter belongs to all of us.

We can’t wait to welcome the Rancho Santa Margarita community into the Ballet Academy & Movement family while continuing to pour our hearts into our San Clemente home.

The future is incredibly bright, and we’re just getting started. 🩰✨
