Ballet Classes at Cavod

Cavod currently offers weekly Ballet classes in our onsite dance studio that are developmentally appropriate for each age group ranging from age 3-Adult, that include all skill levels. Cavod is instilling a deeper appreciation for the art of ballet in each dancer while simultaneously equipping the serious student for a professional career. The Cavod dance school also offers students multiple performance opportunities throughout the season.

Vision of Our Ballet Program

Our Ballet Program is inspired by the Cecchetti, ABT, and Vaganova Syllabli. We believe that by combining the strengths of these foundational schools our dancers will be well prepared to enter the world of dance upon their high-school graduation. We not only focus on the proper execution of each step, but also the artistry and intentionality within each movement. Our instructors value the growth of every student and desire to see them succeed physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The History of Ballet

Ballet is a disciplined style of physical mastery from which many genres of dance originated. The dance style first appeared in Italy during the 15th century as a form of entertainment and eventually grew in popularity and later spread around the world to countries such as France and Russia. Ballet has existed for hundreds of years as a storytelling art form leaving global audiences captivated.

Our Mission

Our mission at Cavod is to train up a generation of diverse and well-rounded ballet dancers, who will be prepared to pursue a professional dance program at a collegiate level and/or enter a trainee program with a company by offering the best dance classes in the Lancaster, PA area.

My daughter loves dancing and singing at CAVOD. It is like going to summer camp all year long. She calls it her home away from home; a place she feels loved and valued.

I've seen a few theatre productions as well as several dance performances at Cavod and they are always well done, artistic, and moving. I would definitely recommend attending any show they're putting on!

All 6 of my children have attended Cavod for many years. The values Cavod carries is valued by my family. Truly a hidden gem. Their technique in all the classes will not disappoint a growing dancer. Wouldn't choose another studio to call family.

The best academy in Lancaster County!!! They care about all students and everyone is welcome! My daughter started dance classes there when she was 4 years old and started theater when she was 8. We only have good memories!

Amazing place! Great dance and performing arts studio. Good quality education in the performing arts. The teachers are wonderful and other students are very friendly. They offer classes for both kids and adults. I believe this studio will continue to expand and grow even more in the coming years.

Cavod is an absolutely amazing dance and performing arts organization. They truly care about the children they teach. My daughter has been attending for almost 4 years and it’s amazing to see her grow and blossom.

This is an amazing school. Its presence is desperately needed since it is one of so few Jesus centered dance and theatre schools available in the area. The director and staff are always approachable. The teachers work so hard to get each one to perform at their personal best level. I have adored all of the teachers I have ever had.

Well, we don’t have “Performing Arts” in our name for nothing! Dance and Acro classes perform in the Spring Dance Concert in June. In addition to selling tickets to that off-site performance, there is a costume fee between $70-$95 per class due in the fall and we do a fundraiser to help offset the costs for you.  
We offer two Visitor’s Weeks each year where friends and family are invited into our rooms to observe class. You can come in person or virtually, but classroom visits may only take place during these two weeks. During classes, we invite you to enjoy our café or playroom while you wait for your child.
Cavod offers Ballet Classes at their New Holland, PA, and Manheim, PA locations.
