Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre Dance Academy
WFBT Dance Academy
Dance is an expression of the soul. Classical dance forms are characterized by grace, discipline and the precision of movement. We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy of movement and music in a friendly and encouraging environment.
From Mommy-and-Me to Pre-Professional Classes our instructors are accomplished teachers who have impressive professional backgrounds. WFBT Dance Academy offers high-quality dance classes for all ages and accommodating all levels.
All WFBT Company Members train at the WFBT Dance Academy, which is the official school of the Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre. Whether your looking for classes for toddlers, or classes for beginners all the way up to advanced, WFBT Dance Academy has a place for you. Along with Classical Ballet, we also offer Tap, Contemporary, and Jazz. With something for everyone, we look forward to welcoming you here.
Classes start August 11th, 2026
Our mission is to help every child experience the joy and creativity of dance through grace, discipline, and precision of movement in an encouraging and friendly environment.
