Graham Academy of Classical and Contemporary Ballet

The Graham Academy was founded in 2001 by Artistic Director Noreen Graham. Since its inception many students have gone on to be accepted into the summer and year round programs of some of the finest ballet companies in the world. The goal of Graham Academy is to provide this opportunity and to bring a vital art form to this community.
