At Inland Northwest Ballet, we are concerned with the wellness of the whole child, and base our curriculum and training of our students on several goals we have for our children who choose to study here. These goals include the enhancement of self confidence, musical awareness, intellectual growth, strength, flexibility, awareness of nutrition and hydration, leadership abilities, work ethic and much more. 

 We strive to give our students a social outlet and the ability to work with and to support fellow dancers, for lifelong social skills.

We also teach stress management skills in a fun way that will help children to cope in this big crazy world!  We also work daily to create a sense of personal growth, discipline, artistic excellence, and of course - lots of social interaction and fun!

Essential to this work is the development of a solid dance technique. Technique, whether classical ballet, contemporary, or tap dance is accomplished not through the learning of choreography, but by creating a solid teaching methodology. We build on fundamental and carefully planned exercises that each serve a specific

purpose, and lesson by lesson grow into a better understanding

and improved classical ballet technique.

A dance is soon forgotten, but proper carriage of the body

and all of the healthy life skills that solid training delivers will last a lifetime. Most important of all, our goal is to nurture and enhance each aspiring student's natural love of dance, whether they are 3 years old or 17. Our entire staff and faculty, from Studio Director Janine Fraser, our office coordinators, and our talented and nurturing instructors all hope that these goals will be met by your child in the coming years at INB, and look forward to having 

you as part of our INB family!
