The Berkeley Ballet Theater fosters an excellence in their students by providing a rigorous, nurturing and diverse environment in which the students receive professional classical ballet training and performance opportunities. The school believes that the joy of dance, with all its physical, mental, and aesthetic benefits, should be available to everyone. Whatever a student's goal, they believe it is best achieved in a well-disciplined but positive and loving environment.
The school emphasizes a pure classical style, and encourages students to develop technique in a manner that is safe for their particular body. There are no height or weight requirements and all body types are welcome.
As performance is a valuable part of a dancer's education, they also provide opportunities for all students to participate in stage productions.

Since 1994, Trapeze Arts, Inc. has been teaching flying trapeze and other circus arts to adults and children of all ages and is one of only a handful of full time Circus Schools in the United States. The classes are unique and exciting and while most of the students are taking classes for fun, we can and do train those who aspire to a professional career. They currently have students performing for Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey, on various cruise ships and in other professional entertainment venues. They recognize that everyone has the ability to participate in our activities, regardless of size, ability, previous experience or strength. The students range in age from 2-82!
The mission is to provide an opportunity for any individual to experience and learn aerial and other circus arts in a supportive, non-competitive environment. The goal of this experience is to enrich, enhance and promote personal growth in a safe, fun and friendly atmosphere.
