We hold dear the concept that Everyone can Dance! Classes offered daily and on weekends for youth and adults: ballet, tap, ballet/tap combo, hip hop, Video Pop, Pre-school Movement Discovery, Latin, Modern, Lyrical, Wheelchair Ballroom and more!
Introducing our new teachers Marlayna Locklear and Marina Rodriguez!
Marlayna teaches our Horton Style Modern class on Saturday mornings at 9:15 AM. She is with Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and her class is an athletic Horton based class focusing on really moving through space, musicality and intent behind movement. This may be the only Horton class in town, so check it out!
Marina teaches Pre-School Dance for young children 5 & under at 10:45AM on Saturday mornings and Lyrical at 11:45AM. The technique of Lyrical dance is fluid, expressive, and perhaps the most varying of the dance forms. From upbeat pop, to traditional ballad and gospel, lyrical uses many different genres of music to communicate emotion.
We are also now offering a Level 3 Tap class Mondays from
4:30-5:30 taught by Amy Burgess
We congratulate our entire great staff of excellent dance teachers in all genres! Check out our fall schedule here More information: 513.841.2822 info@ballettechcincinnati.org

ballet tech cincinnati is finally starting the second phase of renovations on the building. We will go to bid soon for the complete repaving of the parking lot, which should yield 50 parking spaces, and a new building façade, with a new sign and upgraded exterior lighting. These improvements will significantly enhance the “sidewalk appeal” of the facility, increasing enrollment and attendance at btc sponsored events. We are also working on new landscaping so that we can finally present a World Class image of excellence from the exterior and the interior of our facility and in all of our programming, as well. Of course, all of these plans require an investment. Please consider investing in Cincinnati, and specifically, Kennedy Heights to help spur community and economic development. We have seen a tremendous improvement in the landscape and ambience of the few blocks along Montgomery Road adjacent to our location, and feel certain that we have made a positive contribution towards the community and economic development of the community.
