CTAC Art News Summer 2025

SCHOOL OF BALLET Founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Heather Raue, the CTAC School of Ballet trains young people for careers in dance and is dedicated to its legacy. The School of Ballet offers professional training in ballet and alternative dance modalities, as well as in stagecraft, screendance, lighting, choreography, pedagogy, and Special Needs Artistic Movement to nearly 150 students annually. Our pre-professional students have gone on to dance professionally in many American dance companies including: Miami City Ballet, Charlotte Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre, and Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre. They have attended prestigious MFA and BFA dance programs, are on our faculty, and thrive in dance-related careers. We are proud to have brought world-class dance education to well over 4,000 students (ages 4+) in Northern Michigan and beyond.
