Legacy
A legacy carried forward
The measure of a ballet school can be seen in the dancers who carry its training onto stages around the world.
Since 2003, The Art of Classical Ballet has prepared dancers to meet the demands of professional ballet with technical command, musical intelligence, resilience, and a distinct artistic voice. Under the direction of Magaly Suárez, generations of dancers have built the foundation needed to pursue opportunities with respected companies across the United States and internationally.
Their accomplishments are part of AoCB’s history. What they carry forward is its legacy.
From our studios to the world’s stages
AoCB alumni have continued their artistic development and professional careers with a wide range of ballet companies and institutions. Each dancer’s path is different, but all reflect the discipline, artistry, and commitment at the heart of an AoCB education.
Company names reflect documented historical affiliations and may not represent each artist’s current position.

The Art of Classical Ballet School strives to give our dancers opportunities to participate in major competitions throughout the United States as well as internationally. Our goal is to be a presence in the ballet community that demonstrates impeccable technique and world-class training.
The Art of Classical Ballet Built through Daily Work
These achievements begin long before a company contract or opening-night performance. They grow from the daily work of refining technique, responding to coaching, developing musicality, strengthening the body, and discovering an individual artistic voice.
That process remains at the center of The Art of Classical Ballet. Every class contributes to a tradition that reaches beyond the studio and continues through the dancers who came before.
Become part of the next chapter
For serious dancers ready to deepen their technique and artistry, AoCB offers a place to work with purpose, perform with confidence, and prepare for what comes next.
