The art of ballet
ABDA is committed to providing the safe, supportive and respectful environment necessary for building skills, artistic growth, and the development of self-discipline for every dancer. Established by Artistic Director, Wendy Goldthwaite, in 2000, ABDA’s downtown Lake Oswego studio draws dance students age two to adult, all with the common bond of the love of dance.
To teach and inspire ~
Our instructors are dedicated to providing dance students of all ages and skill levels with a culturally rich learning experience that responds to the needs of each individual. At ABDA, all students benefit from sound, professional instruction in the fundamentals of proper ballet technique, as well as the knowledge and appreciation that come with learning one of the greatest artistic disciplines.
ABDA provides classical ballet classes for beginning ballet dancers, from toddlers to adults. For students interested in immersion in pre-professional classical ballet training, our curriculum ballet classes are based on the Royal Academy of Ballet Dance method and standards.
