​The Classical Training Program is thrilled to announce it is evolving into an exciting new chapter with the establishment of its official Studio Company, American Classical Ballet (ACB). ACB will offer professional level performances to the Dallas community and beyond under the leadership of George Birkadze. This group of emerging professionals consists of dancers who are seeking continued intensive training while looking to gain valuable performance experience, thus bridging the gap between training and professional environments.
​
While the focus at ACB is on fostering the growth of each dancer the approach to performing will remain in line with that of a professional environment.
​This transition maintains the program’s commitment to offering top-tier guidance and coaching, ensuring that our preprofessional dancers continue to receive high-level training to refine their skills and build on their artistry. What makes this phase even more special is the integration of a full performance season, allowing students to gain valuable experience on stage in addition to their rigorous training.
​​
As a year-round finishing program, American Classical Ballet's training places primary emphasis on classical ballet technique, while offering an intensive curriculum that includes a variety of dance styles and educational opportunities vital to becoming a well-rounded artist able to succeed in today's dance world. We strive to provide our dancers with an ideal environment to refine their skills, learn from the best, and take their next big step toward a successful career in dance.
​
In the 2025/26 season, the ACB Training Program will introduce a new Junior Division and function as ACB’s Youth Company. By dividing the program into two distinct age groups—Senior Division for dancers aged 14-20 and Junior Division for those aged 11-14—we ensure that dancers of varying skill levels receive tailored instruction and schedules to foster optimal growth and success. The Senior Division will consist of Trainees and Studio Company members.​​
​
Within all areas that we focus, it is a priority that we offer a supportive environment that nurtures the whole dancer—mentally and physically—while fostering a sense of camaraderie and encouragement among group members.​
