Amanda Cobb, Founding Director

Picture
​Amanda Cobb brings many skills to her role as Director of Ballet Academy & Movement. From gymnast to American Ballet Theatre ballerina to teacher and Pilates teacher to choreographer to director, all of her 20 years of professional experience have culminated in Ballet Academy & Movement​.

Her diverse training and extremely rare background of gymnastics, jazz, modern, and ballet allow her to give her students exposure to the same diversity and high level of training, with only the very best teachers. Her goal is to support her students to become diverse, strong, passionate, and determined people, and know that whatever they put their minds to they can create, whether in dance or in life. ​

The word 'academy' is defined as "a place of study or training in a special field." THIS is what we do here!
We challenge you to explore ​your artistry, range of movement, and technique
​
to be the very best artist and athlete you can be!
Are you ready for the challenge? We are ready for you!
