The School of Gaston Dance Theatre offers a graded curriculum of professional quality instruction for all students, beginning to advanced. The curriculum includes Ballet, based on the Vaganova Syllabus, as well as Modern Dance, Jazz and Tap. The Preparatory Dance Division offers dance classes for children ages 3 to 6.

There are currently eight full-length ballets in our repertoire, including The Nutcracker, which is performed at Christmas. Other ballets in our repertoire are rotated and performed annually.
