The health and wellness of our students is an essential component of our training philosophy at SAB. We are committed to providing our students with the education, skills, and resources they need to stay healthy, strong, and prepared for long, successful careers—both on and off the stage.

While we work out of our existing ballet studios this year, we are eagerly looking forward to the fall 2025 opening the new SAB Artistic Health & Wellness Center, a state-of-the-art facility. With your support, we can even further expand our program to ensure our students receive the highest caliber of training and care.

Today we want to highlight our Girls II Level dancers who take three 90-minute ballet technique classes every single week! It`s a crucial time in their training as they begin to learn more complicated movements at the barre and in center, but they improve by leaps and bounds with every class. Let`s hear it for Girls II!

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the recipient of the 2025 SAB Alumni of Distinction Award - Debra Austin!
Ms. Austin began her SAB training at the age of twelve and her achievements throughout her illustrious performing career are not only historic in the field of ballet but incredibly valuable to the future of the art form. We are beyond grateful to Ms. Austin as she continues to inspire new generations of ballet dancers to break barriers and reach their goals.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate her, her illustrious career, and her groundbreaking achievements at this year`s Alumni Celebration on the eve of our 2025 Workshop Performances. We invite all her fellow SAB Alumni to join us! #LinkInBio

What better way to finish out the work week with a glimpse #InsideSAB and our C1 variations class? Watch as our students take on brisk bits of choreography from Jerome Robbins’ THE FOUR SEASONS and see how the challenge helps to uplevel their technique!

Did you know that many of our advanced students are teaching assistants for our Children`s Division? This not only gives faculty members extra help in the studios with our younger dancers, but it also gives those students a chance to be inspired by fellow students in the upper divisions as they demonstrate technique. 💙

It may be April Fools’ Day, but our Children’s Division students aren’t fooling when it comes to all the reasons they love being SAB students! Take their advice and register your child to audition for SAB’s children’s classes. We’re holding auditions for 6-10-year-olds all this month! #LinkInBio
