Shreveport Dance Academy was established to educate people in the way of classical ballet. Although Shreveport Dance Academy was first started as a strictly ballet school, we now offer a wide range of classes and styles of dance. Along with classical ballet classes, we offer jazz, modern, hip-hop, tap, Pilates and more. We offer classes from the age of 3 to adult classes.

Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet
The Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet was founded in 1973 and is one of the oldest arts organizations in the Shreveport-Bossier area.
Ballet Under the Stars
Ballet Under the Stars is an annual show put on by the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet ever August at Shreveport's Festival Plaza. This is a free outdoor performance in which local dance studios come together to give something back to the community. This fun, family orientated event is the perfect way for us to start off our season.
The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker is an all time favorite of children as well as parents around the community and world. Every December the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet puts on The Nutcracker at the Riverview Theatre. It is usually a sold out performance and has become a tradition for many families. We also do a free school performance a couple of days before the show for all the areas third grade students to come and view the first act of the Nutcracker. We hope that this will encourage students who would not normally be exposed to classical ballet to see another side of such a beautiful art form.
Snow White
Snow White is a classic fairy tale that was turned into a world premier ballet a couple years ago by the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet. Come hear an original score by Kermit Polling, preformed by the Shreveport Symphony. Children will love this classic story turned into a magical world on stage.

Shreveport Dance Academy Recital 2009
The annual recital for the Shreveport Dance Academy is an event that all students look forward to. The recital is the last show for the school before the summer holiday and is a time for all of our students to show off what they have learned throughout the year. It is a great experience for students and parents as well. The recital is a time to relax and have fun with our students before going on break.
