Ballet Wichita offers ongoing classes at Ballet Wichita. The Institute, a training program that focuses on classical ballet technique offers classes for students who are just beginning ballet (as young as 3.5 years) to dancers who’s pointe shoes have been long neglected and to those who have always been interested and are finally ready to take that big step and enroll in a ballet class. What better way to welcome the new year!
For the serious dance students, our highly trained faculty will work to inspire the whole student to be both an accomplished dancer and a healthy, strong, confident athlete. Students will experience a structured curriculum offered in a nurturing and positive environment, targeting and exploring each student’s strengths and abilities.

Everything we do, from HappyFeet classes and birthday parties to Legends skill sessions and games, is designed to teach and encourage our players to take a risk, try a new skill—and when they do, we celebrate it as if that risk or attempted skill was in fact winning the game! It is our mission to build into our coaches, parents, and players the understanding that the process—practicing, attempting new skills, developing mental and physical coordination—is the win, not simply the means to a win.
So try one of our HappyFeet or Legends programs. Don’t come expecting white painted lines or even players standing in lines. Come expecting organized chaos on the field where your child will have a blast while getting hundreds of touches on a soccer ball. Expect a coach that knows how to teach and encourage your child to take a risk and try a new move or shot. And remember when your little soccer star takes that risk—that’s your cue to throw your hands in the air and celebrate like crazy!
